Chocolate Almond Thumbprint Cookies Recipe
Description
The Chocolate Almond Thumbprint Cookies Recipe uses almond flour and coconut sugar for a gluten-free style cookie dough that produces a tender yet sturdy texture ideal for holding a chocolate filling. After mixing the dough by hand, small balls are formed and pressed with a thumb to create an indentation. Baking at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes gently cooks the cookies to a soft, crumbly consistency without drying them out. Once cooled slightly, the indentations are filled with melted dark chocolate blended with coconut oil, which softens and enhances the chocolate’s shine and texture. A sprinkle of shredded coconut on top adds a subtle crunch and a touch of natural sweetness. These cookies balance nutty almond flavors with rich chocolate, offering a pleasant, bite-sized treat.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
- sea salt a pinch
- ¼ cup butter or vegan butter, if needed, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips paleo or vegan, as needed
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- coconut to garnish, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut sugar, tapioca starch, and salt. Add the butter and vanilla and mix until a dough forms. I find using my hands is easiest.
- Roll into 12 balls and place them on a baking sheet. Make an indent in each with your thumb.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. When you remove them from the oven, you may need to push the indents in a little with a spoon. Let them cool for 5 minutes then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil over low heat. Pour the chocolate into the thumbprints then sprinkle a little coconut on top. Let the chocolate set before storing the cookies.
