Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add almond flour, cacao powder, and sea salt. Mix until there are no clumps.
- In a small bowl, add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. The dough should be slightly sticky and hold together when pinched. Form the dough into a ball.
- Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to 1/2 inch thickness. If the dough is too soft to roll, refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Cut out cookies and transfer them to the lined baking sheet using an offset spatula. Place cookies close together as they will not spread.
Baking
- Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
Decoration
- Melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. If using a double boiler, fill a small pot with 2 inches of water, bring to a simmer, and place a heatproof bowl with chocolate on top.
- Stir chocolate until melted (about 7-10 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly to thicken.
- Spread melted chocolate on top of cookies, leaving a small border. Optionally, top each cookie with an edible flower or sprinkle with flaky sea salt or fresh berries.
Notes
The cookies will last up to 5 days in a sealed container in the fridge. For freezing, place cookies on a tray until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag or container with parchment paper. They will last up to 3 months.
