Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips (stevia-sweetened)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

Add the softened butter, egg, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for easier handling.

Step 5

Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 6

Use a round cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place them on the lined baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until set but not too brown. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 9

Dip each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, making sure it's fully coated, and place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 10

Refrigerate the cookies for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Step 11

Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Enjoy your low carb Thin Mints!
