Happy Valentines Day!! Whether you are spreading your love to a significant other, a family member or yourself, everyone deserves cookies dipped in chocolate today! I made two batches of these last week and we kept them in the fridge and ate them all week long. Of course they are already gone… we can’t help ourselves! Check out the video below for how they came together.
Chocolate Dipped Paleo Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup arrowroot
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup refined coconut oil (melted then cooled)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ vanilla bean seeds removed from pod
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine almond flour, arrowroot flour, egg, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, vanilla bean seeds, almond extract and salt. Stir well to fully combined and vanilla beans are evenly dispersed.
- Scoop a ball of about 1 rounded tablespoon of dough into your hand and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on the baking sheet and press it down into a disc with either your hand or the bottom of cup. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Feel free to then make any fun design on top, I added a couple of dots on mine with a fork.
- Bake cookies for 15 minutes until the bottom is lightly browned.
- Let the cookies cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe dish for in the microwave for 1 minute, stir, then another 30 seconds until fully melted.
- Drop the bottom of the cooled cookie in the chocolate then remove and shake off the excess. Place back on the silicon mat or parchment paper. Continue with all cookies then place them in the refrigerator until hardened!
Can we sub tapioca for arrowroot? Also, when do we add the arrowroot? I didn’t see it in the instructions.
I haven’t tried tapioca flour so I am not sure, arrowroot is probably best! Add it with everything else!
Can’t wait to make them!! Any suggestions for a sub on the maple syrup? Honey maybe? I don’t want it to taste like honey though!! (Just don’t have maple syrup right now and I want to make them NOW!!!) haha
You can try it out with honey for sure!
