Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Using an immersion blender or electric mixer mix the almond butter, peppermint extract, and egg together in a medium bowl.
• In a large bowl, mix the remaining dry ingredients together.  
• Add wet ingredients too the dry ingredients and using the mixer, mix until well combined.  Then add in the goodies (aka the chocolate chips), just fold them in with a large spoon or spatula.  The dough will be kind of dry and a bit crumbly thats okay!  As long as its sticking together you are good to go.  
• Using a cookie scoop, place cookies on a cookie sheet 2 inches apart.  Slightly flatten with back of spoon or cookie scoop.  You dont need to flatten them all the way out, just a little bit will be just fine! 
• OPTIONAL STEPS:  Add chocolate chips on top of cookies so they are aesthetically pleasing.  Grind 2 candy canes in a food processor until its a relatively fine powder, sprinkle on top of cookies.  
• Bake cookies for 10 minutes, then let them cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes (if you can restrain yourself that long!)
