- In a large bowl, mix together almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Add almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a thick dough forms.
- Use a double cookie scoop to form dough balls. Flatten slightly with your palm.
- Make an indent in the center of each cookie with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then let cookies cool completely.
- Prepare the healthier caramel by mixing almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Spread onto cooled cookies.

- Allow the chocolate to firm up before serving and enjoy!
Notes
- If the dough is sticky, coat your palm with a little oil for easier handling.
- Ensure the indentation in the cookies is deep enough for the caramel.
- Let the cookies cool completely before adding the caramel.
- You can melt the chocolate in the microwave with a touch of oil in 30-second increments.
