Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
- Form Cookie Dough Balls: Using a cookie scoop, one scoop per cookie and flatten it by using the bottom of a cup.
- Use your thumb (fingers) or the back of a spoon to gently press down in the center of each cookie to create a small well.
- Fill each thumbprint with a sprinkle of crushed almonds and a few chocolate chips.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the matcha icing. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk (or cream for a thick texture), matcha powder, and almond milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk if needed.
- Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.Serve: Drizzle the matcha icing over the cooled cookies or serve it on the side for dipping.
