Grain Free Almond Joy Cookies

April 2, 2014 By Karen Sorenson

Do you remember back a couple of weeks ago when I posted my recipe for Grain Free German Chocolate Cake Cookies?  No? Well if not you should definitely go check out the recipe….good ahead….I’ll wait!  (cue the Jeopardy theme music) Anyway, I have been obsessed with the chocolate cookie as a base for delicious toppings.  This week I have the recipe for a Grain Free Almond Joy Cookie.  It’s so good!  The topping is a mix of coconut butter, chopped almonds, and toasted coconut.  The only thing I wish I would have done (but didn’t think about until now) is drizzle some melted chocolate on top.  I definitely recommend doing that!

Stay tuned for another delicious variation in a few weeks.  I’ll give you a hint…Buckeyes.  🙂

Grain Free Almond Joy Cookies

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp coconut flour, sifted
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup ghee or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar (paleo) or Homemade Brown "Sugar" (low carb)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.

  4. Add the eggs and mix to thoroughly incorporate.
  5. Add the vanilla and lemon juice and mix to combine.
  6. Add the dry ingredients and mix to incorporate.
  7. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out the cookies onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet(s) leaving enough space between each cookie. (I did 8 cookies per pan--it makes 16 cookies).
  8. Bake for 9-10 minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool before frosting.

  11. Spread about 2 tsp of coconut butter on each cookie and sprinkle the almonds and toasted coconut on top.
