Ingredients Needed

Almond Flour: The base of these cookies is made with almond flour, which is naturally gluten free. I have only tested this recipe using almond flour, so I would not recommend substituting a different type of flour in this recipe. I love using Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour or Terrasoul Almond Flour. I try to opt for organic whenever I can, but it is definitely pricier, so I just do my best!

Baking Soda: Baking soda helps to make these cookies soft and chewy.

Cacao Powder: Cacao powder gives these cookies a rich chocolatey flavor. I try to use organic ingredients whenever possible. This is my favorite brand of cacao powder.

Salt: Salt enhances the flavor of these cookies and balances the sweetness of the other ingredients.

Almond Milk: I used dairy free milk in this recipe because I am dairy free, but feel free to also use regular milk if you are not dairy free!

Sweetener: Choose honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetener option in these cookies!

Oil: I like to use a neutral oil, such as avocado oil, in these cookies. You can also use olive oil or any other type of oil you have on hand.

Vanilla extract: Vanilla adds a delicious warming flavor to these cookies!

Chocolate: Melted chocolate on top makes these cookies so decadent. If you need dairy free options, I love using the Hu Kitchen or Enjoy Life Foods brands. You can also use regular milk chocolate chips if you are able to have milk!

Candy Canes: I love using YumEarth candy canes because they are made with better-for-you ingredients and no artificial dyes. They honestly taste exactly the same too!
