Ingredients

COOKIE:

  • cup + 1 Tbsp chickpea flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 1 ½ tsp mint extract

CHOCOLATE COATING:

  • cup coconut oil or cocoa butter melted
  • cup cocoa powder
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • ¾ tsp mint extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Mix together the dry ingredients for the cookies: flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry mix and add the wet ingredients (maple syrup, coconut oil, mint extract).
  • Stir everything until well combined.
  • Using wet/damp hands (so the dough doesn't stick), make about 16 small, round Thin Mint-sized discs (the dough should be about 1/8 inch in thickness).
  • Place the cookies onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until solid to the touch.
  • Immediately out of the oven, press down on each cookie with a fork to further flatten the tops and eliminate the small amount of air present (this contributes to making the cookie crispy).
  • Place the cookies in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate coating (or for about 10 minutes until cool to the touch).
  • Whisk together the ingredients for the chocolate coating until smooth.
  • Once cooled, dip each cookie into the coating, covering it completely.
  • Place the cookies onto a large wax paper-lined plate and into the freezer to harden.
  • Enjoy once the chocolate coating has solidified, but keep in the freezer for best storage (especially if using coconut oil in the coating, as this melts quickly).
