Servings 8 large cookies

Ingredients
  

Chocolate Cookie:

  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup creamy runny almond butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Filling:

  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup plant-cream or heavy cream if not vegan
  • Sprinkles for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until well combined.
  • Add almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Using a double cookie scoop for large cookies or a single scoop for smaller ones, form dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly.
  • Create a hole in the center of each cookie using your thumb or the back of the cookie scoop.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, heat plant-cream on the stove until just starting to boil around the edges. Remove from heat.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Spoon dollops of the chocolate mixture into the center of each cookie, top with sprinkles, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure all the wet ingredients are thoroughly mixed before adding in the dry ones.
  • Opt for a double cookie scoop for larger cookies or a single one for smaller ones.
  • If plant-cream isn’t available, coconut cream or heavy cream can be used if you’re not following a plant-based diet.
