Serves: 12

Prep: 15 minutes + 30 minutes setting time

Cook: 10 minutes

Ingredients

For the cookies -

120 g brown rice flour

50 g ground almonds

50 g Natvia natural sweetener

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking powder

70 mls melted coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

50 g no added sugar dark chocolate, cut into small chunks

For the chocolate coating -

2 tablespoon coconut oil

2 tablespoon Natvia natural sweetener

4 tablespoon cacao or cocoa powder

Method

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C and grease and line a large baking sheet.
Mix together the flour, ground almonds, Natvia, cinnamon and baking powder in a bowl then pour in the coconut oil and vanilla.
Fold in the chocolate chunks and mix well to combine. Divide into about 12 and shape into balls. Place onto the baking tray and flatten into cookie shapes.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until just starting to turn golden. Leave to cool completely on the tray (they will firm up while cooling) then transfer to a wire rack.
Gently melt the coconut oil then whisk in the Natvia and cacao/cocoa powder until smooth. Once the cookies have cooled spoon over the chocolate mixture to cover half of each cookie. Leave to set for at least 30 minutes - then enjoy!
