Description
Delicious and healthy peanut butter chocolate cookies made with almond flour and dairy-free chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 5 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup smooth, natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 300 g dairy free chocolate chips or chocolate bars, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/ 180°C. Line or lightly grease a couple of baking sheets and set aside.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, and salt.
- Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix into a soft dough.
- Place the dough between two large pieces of baking paper and roll out to about 1/8-1/4 inch thickness.
- Peel off the top layer of baking paper and cut the dough with a cookie cutter into 2 inch round cookies. Transfer each cut out cookie to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1/2 inch between each cookie.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 9-10 minutes until the edges look lightly golden. Remove and let cool until ready to add the peanut butter.
- While the cookies cool, mix the peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt together in a small sauce pot. Warm over low heat until everything has melted and mixed together.
- Scoop out about a teaspoon worth of the peanut butter mixture for each cookie and carefully spread on top. Repeat until every cookie is topped with peanut butter.
- Transfer the cookies to a baking sheet or plate that can fit inside the freezer. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes or until the peanut butter has set.
- Melt the chocolate and oil in a microwave or double boiler. Let cool enough to handle, then dip cookies peanut butter side down into the chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl and place cookies on baking paper or silicone mat to dry.
- Let the cookies cool at room temperature or refrigerate to speed up the process. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cookies will keep at room temperature for about a week or in the fridge for about a week.
