Chocolate Mini Mint Cookies Vegan, gluten + nut-free, these cookies are the perfect dessert or gift! By Stephanie Moram Ingredients • 1/2 cup of coconut flour • 1/2 cup of raw cacao powder • 2 Tbsp of liquid sweetener (maple syrup, honey, coconut syrup or agave) • 4 Tbsp of coconut oil • 1 tsp of peppermint extract • 1 Tbsp of vanilla flavor (less if using extract) Directions 1. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, and stir. 2. Shape the batter into cookie shapes. You can use a cookie cutter, or a glass jar like I did to make mini cookies. 3. Place in the fridge until firm (about an hour). 4. Once firm, store mini cookies at room temperature, and they will still be hard to the touch. Yields 12 mini cookies! 69
