Servings 15

Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough

  • 1 1/4 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • Pink sea salt, to taste

Filling

  • 3 tablespoons natural creamy almond butter (no added oil or sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Toppings

  • Melted dark chocolate
  • Pink sea salt or flaky salt

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-small bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for two hours our until firm.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a metal baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop out about one tablespoon of chilled cookie dough then form the dough into a ball. Place the dough ball on the cookie sheet, then press the dough in the center with your finger. Smooth out the cookie dough edges if they crack too much--you want the filling to stay in the center. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven then press the centers down again, with the back of a teaspoon this time. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then carefully move to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • When the cookies are cooling mix the filling ingredients until smooth. Carefully spoon the filling into each cookie center. You will most likely have filling left over.
  • Chill the cookies until set, then drizzle the tops with melted chocolate and sprinkle with salt. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
