Servings: 1 large cookie
Calories: 500kcal
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons (35g) superfine blanched almond flour
- 1 tablespoon (6g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tablespoon (4g) tapioca starch
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch fine sea salt
- 2 candy canes, crushed separately
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (30g) pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons (30g) dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
NOTE
- I always recommend to use a scale for accuracy when baking, following MY gram weights listed, since we all measure differently. This greatly improves your chance for success and reduces room for error. You never need cups or to compare them to the weights, just use the scale and bowl and make sure to zero out in between each ingredient.
- I use this scale.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- To a medium bowl, add the almond flour, cocoa powder, tapioca, baking soda, and salt and whisk very well to break up any lumps.
- Add just one of the unwrapped candy canes to a ziplock bag and crush into tiny pieces. I used the bottom of a coffee mug to gently pound them.
- Add the crushed candy to the bowl.
- Add the syrup and chocolate chips. Stir the ingredients until a very thick, sticky batter forms. It will seem too dry at first, but keep mixing and pressing the mixture with the back of a spoon. The nature of the fat and moisture in almond flour will eventually come together into a moist batter and should be very thick.
- Form a ball and place on the pan. Flatten it out to about 3 inches wide and between 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Crush half of the 2nd candy and press the pieces onto the top of the cookie.
- Bake for 12 minutes. The cookie should have spread a lot, puffed up and have tiny little cracks.
- Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before eating, as the cookie is too soft and needs to firm up.
Notes
Nutrition: The calories are high because this does make a LARGE cookie. So in reality, it would be equal to two regular sized cookies.
