  • 1 cup 2 sticks softened grass-fed butter
  • 3/4 cup monk fruit sweetener

Instructions

For the Cookies

  • Mix the almond flour, cocoa powder, xanthan gum, and salt in a medium bowl.

  • 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.
