Ingredients
shortbread cookies;
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2½ Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
tagalongs;
- ¼ cup natural nut butter, like peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate of choice
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 3 tsp freeze-dried fruit, like strawberries or raspberries (optional)
- sea salt (optional)
Instructions
shortbread cookie;
- In a medium mixing bowl, add 1 cup almond flour, 2½ Tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix together until a thick dough is formed.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using roughly 1½ Tbsp of dough, roll into a ball and lay on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten gently, then using a thumb, make an indent in the center of the cookie. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool completely before proceeding with the next steps.
tagalongs;
- (Optional) If making the PB&J version, mix ¼ cup natural nut butter with 3 tsp freeze-dried strawberry powder.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, set your toppings (salt, freeze-dried powders) nearby and prepare your chocolate coating.
- Add 1 cup chocolate chips with 1 tsp coconut oil. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring completely between each round. Stop just before the chips are fully liquid and stir vigorously to allow residual heat to finish melting the chocolate chips.
- Fill each thumbprint in the cookie with your natural nut butter and dip in melted chocolate. Set on parchment paper and quickly sprinkle any salt or freeze dried powder on top, then allow to set. Repeat for remaining cookies.
- Depending on the temperature of your kitchen, you may need to take the baking sheet of coated nut butter tagalongs to the freezer to set. Remove from the fridge/freezer before serving and enjoy!
