Healthy Thin Mint Chocolate Cookie

Healthy Thin Mint Chocolate Cookie Recipe:

While lighter and chewier than the original, they have a chocolate mint taste with only healthy ingredients.



Ingredients:

1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil   1/2 cup raw cacao powder
1/4 tsp Himalayan salt 1/2 cup maple syrup (possibly use less)
7 drops peppermint essential oil
(can sub peppermint extract 1/2 tsp or more)


Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
2. Add the coconut oil to a small glass measuring cup and place in the preheating oven until melted.
3. Add almond flour, cacao powder, salt and baking soda to a bowl and mix well.
4. Remove the coconut oil from oven when melted and mix in maple syrup, then peppermint oil.
5. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well.
6. Using a mini cookie scoop, place cookies far apart on a parchment or silicone lined cookie sheet. The cookies will spread and flatten.
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are dry and cracked.
8. Allow to fully cool before removing from pan.
