Description
Delightful gluten-free cookies filled with melted chocolate, perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about one inch in diameter, and place on the prepared baking sheet, spaced two inches apart.
- Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make a small indent in the center of each cookie.
- Fill each indent with a few chocolate chips.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are firm and the centers remain slightly soft.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use melted coconut oil that is not hot to avoid cooking the dough. For variations, try nut butter or fruit jam fillings.
