Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup cacao powder
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 0.75 cup homemade paleo 'Nutella' (see notes)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, sea salt, cacao powder, and coconut sugar, and whisk until well mixed.
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the homemade Paleo 'Nutella', egg, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula until a cookie dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten the tops of the cookies with the back of a spoon or your fingers to help them spread during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until the cookies are set around the edges. They will remain soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Paleo Nutella Cookies, perfect as a healthy treat or snack!
