RECIPE

cookies:
•1 1/4 cups almond flour
•1/4 cup cocoa powder
•1/8 tsp salt
•3 tbsp maple syrup, room temp
•2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
•1/2 tsp peppermint extract

chocolate coating:
•6oz dark or semi sweet chocolate (i use dairy free and refined sugar free chocolate)
•2-3 tsp coconut oil
•1/4 tsp peppermint extract

instructions:

1. add all of the cookie ingredients to a bowl and mix until a dough forms then place the bowl in the fridge to allow the dough to chill for 20-30 minutes.
2. once chilled, roll out the dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper (i made the dough about 1/4 inch thick). cut out the cookies with a small circle cookie cutter or a shot/juice glass. remove the excess dough and repeat step 2 until all of the dough is used up.
3. leaving the cookies on the parchment paper, transfer to a tray and bake for 8-10 minutes at 350F (don’t over bake, they burn easily!). I baked for 10 minutes. once baked, allow the cookies to cool completely.
4. once the cookies have cooled, make the chocolate coating: melt together the coconut oil and chocolate (in the microwave or on the stovetop using the double boiler method) then add in 1/4 tsp peppermint extract and mix well.
5. coat the cookies in the melted chocolate then place back on the lined tray. freeze or refrigerate until the chocolate coating hardens then dig in and enjoy!
6. store in the fridge or freezer (we prefer the cookies frozen!).
