Ingredients
For the cookies
- 1 cup almond flour Can substitute with oat flour or all-purpose flour.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips Extra chocolate is encouraged.
For the assembly
- 1 pint guilt-free ice cream (dairy or non-dairy) Choose your favorite flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt; mix well.
- Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is combined and forms a dough.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop out a tablespoon of the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet, flattening it slightly. Repeat until you have 12 cookie rounds (six sandwiches).
Baking
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Assembly
- Once cooled, place a big scoop of your favorite ice cream on one cookie, and top it with another cookie. Press lightly to create your sandwich.
- Enjoy immediately or freeze for later!
Notes
If using almond flour isn't available, substitute with oat flour or all-purpose flour. Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for better shaping, and avoid overbaking for a chewy texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
