Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or preferred sugar substitute
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Add the egg, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into a log shape about 2 inches in diameter and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Once chilled, slice the dough into 1/4 inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they begin to firm up. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cookies are cooling, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.
Dip each cooled cookie in the melted chocolate to coat, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the chocolate-coated cookies back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
Store the finished cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for optimal freshness.
