Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup desiccated coconut
• 1/2 cup ground almonds
• 1 egg, size 6
• 4 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil at room temperature (soft not melted) or soft butter
• 4 tbsp rice malt syrup or honey or maple syrup or 1/4 cup coconut sugar (updated on 10/12/2015)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch ground ginger

• Dark cocoa chocolate, melted about 1 square of 5 g for 2 cookies - I used 90% cocoa chocolate but any dark chocolate 70 % or unsweetened carob button works too
• Extra desiccated coconut if desired

Directions

• Process all the ingredients in a food processor until it forms a sticky consistent ball of cookie dough. If too sticky add 1-3 extra tbsp of ground almonds to makes the dough easy to shape. It will still stay a bit sticky. You can add a tiny bit of coconut oil on your hands to avoid the dough to stick too much to your fingers too.
• Form 6/7 cookies dough balls of same size.
• Place the balls on a baking tray covered with baking paper.
• Press the balls with your fingers to form thick flat round cookie - about 1 cm thickness.
• Bake at 180 C (360 F) for 12 minutes or until the sides are golden brown.
• The cookies will be a bit soft but they will harden slightly when cooling down.
• Transfer onto a cookie rack to fully cool down.
• Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave.
• Dip half of the cookie into the melted chocolate than into dessicated coconut or sliced almonds.
• Store until 5 days in a metallic box.
