Description
These only have 7 ingredients and are raw, so you can whip them in no time!
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 Cups Shredded Coconut * (finely shredded, unsweetened)
- 6 Tbl Cacao Powder *
- Pinch Real Salt *
- 2 Tbl Coconut Oil
- 5 Tbl Real Maple Syrup *
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1-2 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
- Candy Canes (if not making a paleo version)
Instructions
- Place the shredded coconut in a high speed blender, like a Vitamix *. Turn the blender on to the lowest setting and process the coconut for a few minutes, until it starts to turn into coconut butter. There should still be pieces of shredded coconut, but the mass should start to be turning into a 'nut' butter consistancy.
- Add the remaining ingredients and process just until combined. Over-blending will cause the dough to become oily. *If you aren't concerned with the cookies being Paleo, add the crushed candy canes in at this point and mix in lightly.
- Use a scoop with about a 1 tablespoon capacity and scoop out rounds of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Refrigerate cookies for 1 hour, or until set.
- Keep refrigerated.
