Spiced Hot Chocolate Cookies
Servings: 18-24 cookies Prep Time: 5 Min Cook Time: 10 Min Total Time: 15 Min
Ingredients:
1 cup of almond flour (buy in bulk here)*
1/2 cup of tapioca flour (my favorite brand buy here)*
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 cup of Madhava coconut sugar (buy here)
1/4 cup of pure maple syrup (room temp)
1/3 cup of softened refined coconut oil (DO NOT MELT)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup of Enjoy Life chocolate chips (buy here)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325˚F.
In a large mixing bowl add in softened coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla extract and pure maple syrup. With a hand mixer or a wire whisk, mix until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl mix in almond flour, tapioca flour, cocoa powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper and baking soda. Whisk all dry ingredients together until well combined.
Add half of the dry ingredients into the wet and mix together completely. Add in the remaining dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop out 18-24 cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Once cookies are done baking, remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes.

NOTES:
*If you are allergic to nuts try swapping out the almond & tapioca flour out for 2 cups of whole wheat flour. You may need to add a tad bit of dairy free milk to create a softer dough. Another flour swap alternative is swapping the almond flour for 1/4 cup + 2 Tbs of coconut flour. So for the recipe you would then use 1/4 cup + 2 Tbs of coconut flour and 1/2 cup of tapioca flour. I have not trued these swaps in this particular recipe. However I have made these swaps in other MMW recipes and the results were delicious!
