Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips I used dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 cup coconut sugar or light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup powdered sugar for rolling the dough in
Instructions
- In a skillet, add the chocolate chips along with the coconut oil and gradually melt the chocolate, stirring consistently. If you have one, a double boiler is great for melting chocolate. Set aside once melted.1 cup chocolate chips, 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut sugar, and vanilla until well combined. Mix in the melted chocolate.2 eggs, 1 cup coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Fold in the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt until flour is just combined. Transfer the bowl to the fridge and allow the batter to set for at least 30 minutes.½ cup almond flour, 2 tablespoon cocoa powder, 2 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- Once the batter is firm to the touch, preheat the oven to 350 F and add the powdered sugar to a shallow bowl.
- Roll the chilled cookie dough into 2 Tbsp-sized balls between your palms. Roll the balls in the powdered sugar really well until it achieves a nice thick coat (they need more powdered sugar than you think, the thicker the better). Work quickly in batches, place them on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 12 - 14 minutes until the cookies have crinkled and the edges are rounded. You want the cookies to be chilled going into the oven so transfer any batched rolled cookies to the fridge while the others are baking if needed.½ cup powdered sugar
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly before enjoying!
