Delightful Dark Chocolate Almond Cookies (Sugar-Free Recipe)

Ingredients 0/13

Step 1

Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly greased so the cookies don’t stick. Soak the dates in hot water for about 6 to 10 minutes until they’re nice and soft, then drain them well.

Step 2

Toss the dates, almond pulp, oats, almond milk, almond flour, coconut flour, coconut oil, applesauce, vanilla, cacao nibs, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg into a food processor. Blend everything until it comes together into a dough-like consistency. If it feels too dry, add a little water to help it bind.

Step 3

Take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it between your hands, then gently pinch the sides to shape it into a square. Place the cookies on your prepared sheet and press down lightly with your fingers or a fork to flatten them a bit. Keep going until all the dough is used.

Step 4

Pop the cookies into the oven and bake for around 20 minutes, until they turn golden brown. Let them cool completely before moving on to the chocolate.

Step 5

Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl by heating it in short 15-second bursts, stirring in between, until it’s smooth and glossy. Finally, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for a delicious finish.
