Ingredients
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 5 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 20 chocolate chips
- 20 sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the almond flour, matcha, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Use a whisk to stir the dry ingredients, breaking up any clumps. Add the maple syrup, coconut oil, and peppermint extract and stir until the batter looks uniform.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough and then roll it between your hands to form a log about the size of your index finger. Place this on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining cookie dough, making about 20 cookies.
- Use your finger to create an indent in each log approximately where the knuckles on a finger would be. You can also use a knife to add "wrinkles" to the finger-shaped cookies.
- Press a chocolate chip into one end of each cookie. Bake the cookies at 350ºF until lightly golden around the edges, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- When you remove the pan, immediately press a sliced almond over each warm chocolate chip. The melted chocolate will hold the almond in place as it cools. Let the cookies cool on the pan completely; then they are ready to serve.
- These cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, but for best shelf life, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes
- Nutrition information is for one cookie, assuming you get 20 total from this batch. This information is automatically calculated using generic ingredients, so it's just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Feel free to use any other shortbread cookie recipe with this tutorial. Cookies made with eggs could spread as they bake, so I recommend using a shortbread recipe for the best results.
