Description

Gluten Free, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free

Creamy salted caramel tucked into a chewy chocolate cookie makes for the ultimate dessert time win.  No one will know the cookies are made with almond flour, the caramel is made with tahini, and these are actually healthy!


Ingredients

Scale

Cookies:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup melted vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup agave

Caramel:


Instructions

Cookies:

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  3. Melt your butter in a microwave safe bowl (measure after already melted), and then add agave and mix.
  4. Add your wet ingredients into your dry and stir until a dough forms.
  5. Make small balls with the dough (I made 12 cookies) and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, creating a well with your thumb.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes (depending on your oven) until edges start to turn golden brown.
  7. Make your sauce while the cookies are baking, leave it over low heat (to keep it thin – easier to pour into cookies), and then pour into each well once the cookies are done.
  8. Top with flaky sea salt

Notes

One batch of caramel worked basically perfectly for me to make these cookies!  You might have a little left over, but that just means a treat for the chef 🙂

I have not tried these with any substitutes yet
