Serves: 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond flour and salt, whisking thoroughly to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Add maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until a cohesive, slightly sticky dough forms.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add an extra teaspoon of maple syrup. If too wet, sprinkle a bit more almond flour to achieve a rollable consistency.
- Line a baking sheet or flat tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into 10 equal-sized balls, gently pressing each to create a cookie shape approximately 2 inches in diameter.
- Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning.
- Drizzle or dip each cookie in melted chocolate, using a spoon to ensure even coverage.
- Place cookies on the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate and firm up the cookies.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For best texture, let cookies sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Consistency is Key: Pay close attention to your dough's texture. If it's too dry, add a little extra maple syrup; if too wet, sprinkle in more almond flour.
- Chocolate Melting Hack: When melting chocolate, use short microwave intervals and stir frequently to prevent burning. This ensures a smooth, glossy chocolate coating.
- Chill for the Perfect Texture: Refrigerating the cookies helps them set and develop a delightful firm texture that's both satisfying and melt-in-your-mouth.
- Room Temperature Serving: Let the cookies sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to enhance their flavor and soften slightly.
- Storage Tip: These cookies stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making them a perfect make-ahead treat.
