Ingredients
  

Cookie

  • ¾ cup oat flour
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¾ tsp peppermint extract 1/2 tsp for very mild mint

Chocolate Dip

  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Grind up oats for oat flour (unless using pre-ground) in a coffee grinder.
  • Melt 1.5 tbsp coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl.
  • Mix together the cookie ingredients in a bowl to form a dough. The dough shouldn't be super sticky, so if it is, add an additional spoon of flour at a time until it is more of a sugar cookie dough texture.
  • Place the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes to harden.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Remove the cookie dough from the oven and roll out to about 1/4" thick.
  • Using a small circle cookie cutter or the bottom of a shot glass, cut out cookies. You should get between 16-18 cookies.
  • Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 13 minutes.
  • Let them cool to touch.

Chocolate Dip

  • Once the cookies are cooled to touch, place the chocolate chips and remaining coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Melt together on 30 second intervals, stirring between.
  • You can add an additional 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract to the chocolate if you want a strong mint flavor, but I normally don't.
  • Dip the cookies in the chocolate using a fork. To get a smooth layer, use a spatula to scrape the top and bottom off.
  • Place them back on the lined sheet and repeat for all cookies.
  • Place the sheet in the freezer for about 15 minutes to cool and allow the chocolate to set.
  • The cookies are ready to serve! Store the remaining in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 7 days.

Notes

You can also use almond flour in place of the oat flour to make these paleo friendly.
