Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
Maple Sugar Coating
- 1 tbsp tapioca flour or arrowroot starch
- 1/2 cup maple sugar or coconut sugar
Instructions
- First, sift almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut sugar and cocoa powder into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix in baking soda.
- Then, add in egg, syrup, vanilla extract and melted coconut oil.
- Once combined, refrigerate dough for 20 minutes.
- While dough is chilling, make the powdered maple sugar coating. Add maple sugar and tapioca flour to a blender.
- Then, blend until mixture is powdered, about 1 minute in a high speed blender. Add powdered maple sugar to a shallow bowl.
- Next, preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once dough has chilled, use a cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough. Roll each ball of dough in the sugar mixture, completely coating the outside. Repeat for all remaining dough.
- Then, bake cookies for 9 to 10 minutes or until edges are set.
- Lastly, cool cookies on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes
- Do not skip the dough chilling. It helps the dough become less sticky.
- Make your own maple powdered sugar for a Paleo option. Or, use regular powdered sugar.
- Store cookies covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
