Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate or sugar-free chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for extra chocolate flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl: almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and optional cocoa powder. Whisk well.
  3. Combine wet ingredients in another bowl: melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and peppermint extract. Stir until smooth.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually, stirring continuously to form a slightly sticky dough.
  5. Shape cookies: Scoop 1-inch dough balls and place them on the baking sheet. Flatten each gently with a glass or palm.
  6. Bake cookies for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Avoid over-baking.
  7. Cool completely on a wire rack before adding chocolate.
  8. Melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
  9. Dip cookies in chocolate using a fork or tool, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment paper.
  10. Set chocolate: Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until coating hardens.
  11. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Notes

Dough can be refrigerated up to a week for later use.

For a lighter chocolate layer, drizzle chocolate instead of fully coating.

Experiment with flavors like vanilla, orange zest, or cinnamon for variety.
