Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbs vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil, softened
  • ¼ cup agave
  • 2-3 tbs non-dairy milk (ads as need)
  • ½ cup cacao nibs
  • 2 tbs coconut butter, liquified
  • 2 tbs peanut butter
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together all dry ingredients (except cacao nibs) in a medium bowl. Combine wet ingredients (except coconut butter and peanut butter) in a small bowl. Stir wet into dry until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Use hands to form dough into two rolls, about 1" thick. Add milk if dough begins to feel too dry.
  4. Sprinkle cacao nibs on clean surface. Roll dough rolls in cacao until coated. Use a sharp knife to slice the rolls into pieces (think sushi!) about ½" thick.
  5. Place on baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges are slightly golden.
  6. While cookies are baking, prepare icing by stirring together coconut butter and peanut butter in a small bowl or cup.
  7. Remove cookies from oven and let cool completely. Spread icing on top of cookies. Sprinkle with cacao nibs then place in freezer for 10 minutes before enjoying so icing hardens.
  8. Store in refrigerator.
