Serves 12 cookies
Difficulty Level medium

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups almond meal
  • 1 cup Lakanto Golden Sweetener
  • ¾ cup gluten free flour
  • 4 tbsp cacao powder
  • ½ tsp bi carbonate soda
  • 1/4 tsp xanthum gum
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • pinch salt
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil
  • 1 tsp butterscotch essence 
  • 2-3 tbsp almond milk (to bind)
  • 3 tbsps Lakanto Chocolate Crumb (sprinkle over the top of the cookie before baking)

OPTIONAL - 2 tbsp Lakanto chocolate topping.


METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large-size bowl, add all the dry ingredients and half of the chocolate bits and mix until combined.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and mix until the mixture forms a soft dough and can be pinched between two fingers and stays together. Add more milk if necessary.
  4. Carefully roll the dough into a tight log shape and place into the fridge.
  5. Once chilled cut the log into 6-10mm slices and place on a baking tray.
  6. Bake the cookies for 12-18 minutes or until the edges are crisp. If you bake your cookies for a shorter amount of time, they will be crisp on the outside and like a brownie on the inside. If you bake your cookies for a longer time, they will be crisp all of the way through.
  7. Enjoy cookies immediately. Alternatively, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Tip

If you have some Lakanto Chocolate Topping add a couple of tbsps to each mix instead of additional almond milk.
