Ingredients

  • ½ cup cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder 57 g
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour 168 g
  • ½ cup coconut oil melted and cooled
  • cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon maca powder
  • ¼ teaspoon himalayan or regular sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients. Stir well until evenly mixed. 
  • Divide the dough and place each section between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll the dough out until it's flattened to about ½ an inch thick. 
  • Transfer each, still sandwiched in parchment, to a cookie sheet and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. 
  • When ready, remove one tray from freezer, remove top layer of parchment, and quickly use a cookie cutter and cut into shapes. Place cookies in a ziplock bag and return to the freezer. Remove the other tray and do the same, place cookies in a separate ziplock bag. 
  • If cookies start to get too soft in the time it takes to use the cookie cutter, allow them to freeze on cookie sheet in an even layer on parchment before placing into the ziplock bag and storing.
  • If there are many scraps left, combine them back into a ball and roll out again. 
  • Store cookies in the freezer and grab and eat when needed!
