Ingredients:

• 3 cups raw almonds
• 1 ½ Organic Coconut Oil
• 2 tbsp Organic Coconut Sugar
• 2 tbsp Organic Maple Syrup
• a pinch of sea salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• vegan chocolate (to drizzle over the cookies)

Method:

• Soak 3 cups of raw almonds in water for 4 hours.
• Dehydrate the soaked almonds at 65℃/150℉ for 2 hours.

For the Almond Butter:

• Take 1 cup of dehydrated almonds and put in a grinder.
• Grind for 25 minutes, stirring intermittently, until it becomes a butter consistency.
• Set aside.

For the Almond Meal:

• Take the rest (2 cups) of the dehydrated almonds and put it in a blender or NutriBullet.
• Blend until you get a medium-fine texture/coarse meal.

To make the cookies:

• In a bowl, put the almond meal, coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, sea salt, vanilla extract, and almond butter.
• With your hands, mix the ingredients to form a cookie dough.
• Make bite-sized cookie dough balls with your hands and flatten them on a baking sheet.
• Optional: Cut out some fun shapes with a cookie cutter!
• Bake at 160℃/320℉ for 20 minutes.
• While waiting for the cookies to bake, make the chocolate drizzle.
• Put water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Place a heat-safe bowl on top of the saucepan. Make sure the bowl is not touching the water.
• Add the vegan chocolate in the bowl and stir occasionally until smooth and melted. Set aside.
• When the cookies are done, drizzle the melted vegan chocolate on top of the cookies using a fork (as seen in the video).

This recipe makes 24 cookies.
