Check Out the Recipe Below…
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups of Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup of Raw Cacao Powder
- 1/2 cup of Swerve (or 3/4 cup Erythritol)
- 1/4 tsp. Himalayan sea salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- Young Living Peppermint Vitality Essential Oil
- 4oz Cream Cheese cut into small chunks
- 7 oz. Lily’s Stevia Sweetened Chocolate chips
- 1oz Cocoa Butter
- Crushed sugar-free peppermints (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, and sweetener. Stir in the melted butter and 1 drop of peppermint vitality oil.
- Sprinkle the chunks of cream cheese on the top of the mixture and use two sharp knives to cut the cream cheese into the dough until it comes together easily.
- Put the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and shape into a circle. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll it out to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Using a 3-inch star-shaped cookie cutter cut out stars until you’re out of dough. (Re-roll as much dough as you can and then use the scraps to make dough balls that don’t need baking).
- Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 15 minutes switching the position of the cookie sheet halfway through for even baking.
- Remove from oven, let cool completely and then place into the freezer for an hour.
- Heat up a pan of water to just barely simmering and then put a heatproof bowl on top and place the chocolate chips and cocoa butter in the bowl to melt together. Stir in one drop of peppermint vitality oil.
- Prepare a pan lined with wax paper and drop cookies into the chocolate one at a time and flip with a fork to ensure fully coated. Place dipped cookies onto the lined pan then sprinkle with crushed peppermint immediately while still wet.
- Place cookies in the fridge for 20 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Enjoy!
