Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 1 cup almond flour (90g)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (22g)
- 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 Tbsp ground flax*
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1-2 Tbsp water**
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Filling
- 1/3 cup coconut butter, softened
- 2 Tbsp powdered monk fruit
Instructions
- Make the Cookies: preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all dry cookie ingredients (almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, ground flax, and salt).
- Mix in wet ingredients: coconut oil, water and vanilla. Mix first with a spatula, then use your hands to combine the dough. If the dough is too dry, add more water (one tablespoon at a time).
- Roll cookie dough between two sheets of parchment paper using a rolling pin. Roll to about 1/4 inches thick.
- Use a small circular cookie cutter (or the rim of a shot glass) to cut out circles.
- Transfer the cookies to a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Place the cookies in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes.
- After baking, cool the cookies for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
- Re-roll extra dough and cut out more cookies. You should get about 48 miniature cookies (which will make 24 sandwich cookies).
- Make the filling: Melt coconut butter, then combine with powdered monk fruit. Place the mixture in a plastic bag.
- Assemble: Pipe the filling onto half of the chocolate cookies. Place the remaining cookies on top of the frosted ones, making a "sandwich".
Notes
*To make ground flax, I grind whole flax seed using a coffee grinder
**will need 1-2 Tbsp water. Start with 1, if the dough is too dry add another.
