  • 1 cup almond flour

Chocolate coating:

Instructions

  1. Mix together the almond flour, cacao powder, maple syrup, coconut oil and peppermint extract to form the dough
  2. The dough may be a bit crumbly, but that is okay! It won’t be as dough-y as traditional cookies
  3. Add the dough to fridge for 10-15 minutes
  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper 
  5. Form the cookies by spooning 2 tablespoons or so of dough into your hand and form into a ball then press down to make a flat cookie about 1/4 inch (these won’t rise as they don’t have baking powder/soda)
  6. Add cookies to baking sheet then bake in oven for 12-14 minutes
  7. Allow the cookies to cool for a few then melt together the chocolate coating ingredients in 30 second increments in microwave or saucepan
  8. Dip each cookie into the chocolate the place back on the baking sheet
  9. Once all the cookies are coated with chocolate, add to fridge to set then enjoy!
