Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Stir until the dough comes together.
- Roll the dough into a ball, then place it between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/4-inch thick.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out round cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are firm. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil in the microwave or over a double boiler.
- Stir in the peppermint extract to the melted chocolate.
- Dip each cooled cookie into the chocolate, coating both sides, then place back on the wire rack to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Let the cookies set for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate them for faster results.
Notes
- Make sure to let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate.
- You can store these Thin Mints in an airtight container for up to a week.
- If you prefer a thinner chocolate coating, you can drizzle the chocolate over the cookies instead of dipping them.
