For the Cookies
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks softened grass-fed butter
- 3/4 cup monk fruit sweetener
- 1 large egg white

For the Cookies
Mix the almond flour, cocoa powder, xanthan gum, and salt in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and monk fruit sweetener together with an electric hand mixer for a few minutes.
Stir in the egg white, vanilla, and peppermint extract.
Beat in the dry ingredients to your wet ingredients in 3 small batches, beating between each batch.
Split the dough in half.
Roll out each half in between two layers of parchment paper into a large rectangle until the dough is about 1/4 - 1/3 inches thick.
Carefully, transfer the dough (still between the parchment paper) to a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour.
Remove the dough from the freezer and use a cookie cutter to cut out 2-inch circles from the dough.
Heat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Let the cookies cool completely (about 15 minutes) before coating in chocolate.
For the Chocolate Coating
Add all ingredients to bowl and melt using a double-boiler or by melting in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between.
Use a fork to carefully dip each cookie into the melted chocolate.
Lay each cookie to dry on a wire rack that is over a parchment lined baking sheet.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before removing from the wire rack.
