Ingredients


Cookies:

  • cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup everyday life chocolate chips


Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup of everyday life chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or silpat.
  • Add all the cookie ingredients in a food processor, except chocolate chips and pulse until completely combined. The dough will come together in a ball once combined. Add chocolate chips and stir in by hand.
  • Place the dough in between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and flatten dough out flat, about 1/4” thick, using a rolling pin.{I used parchment paper}
  • Using a cookie cutter {I used a 2 1/2 round} cut out circle cookies. Place cookies on baking sheet spacing 2” apart. {Bake in two batches} Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes, until slightly golden brown around edges.
  • Let cool completely on a cooling rack before adding chocolate glaze.
  • While cookies are cooling, in a small bowl add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and coconut oil and microwave for 1 minute, remove and stir. Cook an additional minute, stirring until chocolate is smooth.
  • Dip cookies in chocolate glaze and place back on cooling rack and sprinkle with a pinch of shredded coconut.
