Form the dough into a log, freeze, and then slice into perfectly shaped cookies.

Here’s what you need:

  • 2 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
  • 2 Tablespoons flax meal
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted over low heat
  • 1/3 cup agave nectar
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a cookie pan with coconut oil, set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl combine the almond flour, flax meal, salt, baking soda and cocoa powder.
  3. In another medium bowl combine the coconut oil, agave nectar, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix until just combined. Add the macnuts. Do not overmix!
  5. Form the dough into a log with a 2.5 inch diameter, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 1 hour.
  6. Remove dough from freezer and unwrap. Slice the log into cookies about 1/2 inch thick. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes before removing.
