Delight in these heavenly Chocolate Christmas Cookies! They're made without butter or refined flour, using clean alternative ingredients. Ready in just 12 minutes, no chilling time required. Enjoy the festive goodness without compromise!
Preheat oven at 180C (350F) and line a tray with parchment paper or grease with coconut oil cooking spray.
In a bowl, start to mix coconut sugar and coconut oil first. Therefore add-in the egg, vanilla extract, almond butter and stir until well combined.
In another bowl, mix together the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, unsweetened cacao powder and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. With a wooden spoon, gently fold in the melted chocolate and almond flour until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. Don't over mix and let sit batter for 10 minutes!
Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
Add the desire amount of chocolate chips and Christmas sprinkles on top.
Bake for 12 minutes or until slightly golden. Let cool and enjoy!
