Mix together the almond flour, cacao powder, maple syrup, coconut oil and peppermint extract to form the dough
The dough may be a bit crumbly, but that is okay! It won’t be as dough-y as traditional cookies
Add the dough to fridge for 10-15 minutes
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
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)
Add cookies to baking sheet then bake in oven for 12-14 minutes
Allow the cookies to cool for a few then melt together the chocolate coating ingredients in 30 second increments in microwave or saucepan
Dip each cookie into the chocolate the place back on the baking sheet
Once all the cookies are coated with chocolate, add to fridge to set then enjoy!

*Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer

**I have not tested other flours and please only use a liquid sweetener like maple syrup or honey for the sticky consistency!
