Grain Free Chocolate Mint Sandwich Cookies


  • Author: Kelsey

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies:

  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • ¼ cup almond butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon  vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup arrowroot powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups soaked cashews (soaked in water for at least 3 hours and no more than 12 hours)
  • ½ cup spinach
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 6 drops Peppermint essential oil (or 1 teaspoon peppermint extract)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a bowl combine coconut sugar, coconut oil, almond butter, egg and vanilla and whisk to combine.
  • Add in almond flour, cocoa powder, arrowroot powder, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine until all ingredients are incorporated.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop 1 teaspoon scoops of dough onto the pan. I rolled the dough balls in my hands then placed them on the sheet so they were symmetrical.  They are smaller cookies so you can fit about 25 -30 on each sheet.  Leave a little room for them to expand.
  • Bake for 6 minutes then remove and let cool.

Filling:

  • Drain your soaked cashews and place them in a food processor or high powered blender.  Add in spinach, maple syrup and peppermint and blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  • Scoop some filling (about 1 teaspoon) between 2 chocolate cookies and press them together.

Notes

  • I think these taste extra delicious when refrigerated!
