Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
- A pinch of sea salt
- ¼ cup softened butter or vegan butter, if needed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips paleo or vegan, as needed
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- shredded coconut to garnish
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.
