Ingredients
- ¾ cups almond flour
- 1 ½ tablespoon nut butter
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Prep
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and have another sheet standing by so you can roll out your dough between two sheets.
- You will chill the dough, so after that, when you are ready to bake, preheat oven 350 F.
Make Cookies
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Stir with a spoon until you have a dough.¾ cups almond flour, 1 ½ tablespoon nut butter, 3 tablespoon maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon vanilla, pinch of salt
- Chill the dough for 10-30 minutes to achieve rollable texture.
- Roll the dough out about ¼ inch thick between the two sheets of parchment paper.
- Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut 2-inch circles, and use a small ½ cap or piping tip to cut out center holes. Try to cut circles on one side, leaving a space on the other side to re-roll the scraps. I like to roll and bake on the same parchment-line pan for ease.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until edges begin to turn toasty. Cool the cookies on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Once cookies are cooled - about 30 minutes - prepare the dipping chocolate.
- Microwave the chocolate for 60 seconds, and stir until all chips or chunks are melted.½ cup chocolate chips
- Dip each cookie so the bottoms are dipped. Let them set upside down. It will take care to keep the chocolate from dripping and smearing on the top of the cookie.
- Chill the dipped cookies in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, then pipe lines of chocolate on top. I put the chocolate in a piping bag with a writing tip, but you can use a ziplock bag with the corner cup off as well.
- Allow the chocolate lines to set before serving.
Store
- The cookies will soften over time, but they keep in a sealed container for about 4 days at room temperature.

Notes
Alternate flavors. The shortbread is so simple it's easy to flavor it slightly with extracts, either orange, or mint, or lavender. The same with the chocolate dip.
This cookie is gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free and refined-sugar-free
