    Course: cookie, Dessert, Snack
    Cuisine: American
    Ingredients Method

    Ingredients
      

    For the cookies:
    • 2 cup almond flour
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¾ teaspoon almond extract
    • ¼ cup maple syrup
    • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or ghee
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

    • ¼ cup almond butter
    • 2 tablespoon non-dairy chocolate chips

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. In a bowl, mix all cookie ingredients until you have a cookie dough.
    3. Scoop the dough into tablespoon sized balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Using a teaspoon, press into each cookie to create the "thumbprint" indentation.
    4. Bake the cookies for about 10-11 min. Let cool while you mix the fudge filling.
    5. Melt together the almond butter and chocolate until smooth. Spoon the filling into the center of each cookie and allow them to set in the fridge for about an hour. Enjoy!

      Amazing!!! Flavor is so delicious. Ratios of everything are fantastic. This is the first recipe of yours I've tried, and usually vegan, paleo, gf, etc recipes tend to come out a bit off for me. But these are perfect. And when it says it makes twelve, it ACTUALLY makes 12, whereas I find with many blogs it says it makes 12 but really it makes 30... I will definitely be making more of your recipes!! Thanks so much 🙂
