Molasses cookies
6 Tbsp coconut oil refined, soft at room temperature
1/2 cup coconut sugar
3 Tbsp molasses
1 large egg at room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups blanched almond flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
Extra coconut sugar for rolling
Preheat your oven to 350Β° and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl using an electric hand mixer, beat together the coconut oil, coconut sugar and molasses until smooth and creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla and continue to mix until very smooth, set aside.
In a separate large bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, baking soda and salt. Slowly stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until you have a thick cookie dough. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so you can roll it into balls.
Roll a 1β ball of dough in the sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat, spacing cookies 2β apart and using both baking sheets to make 24 cookies. Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes or until edges are browning and tops are crinkled. Cool for l2 minutes on the baking sheets, then carefully transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store the cookies covered at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Peanut butter blossoms
Cookies:
β’ 1 cup blanched almond flour
β’ 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
β’ 2 tablespoons coconut flour
β’ 1 teaspoon baking soda
β’ 1β4 teaspoon fine sea salt
β’ 1β2 cup coconut sugar
β’ 1β3 cup smooth peanut butter
β’ 3 tablespoons coconut oil
β’ 1 egg
β’ 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Chocolate Kiss:
Β½ cup dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoon no-stir peanut butter or almond butter
2 teaspoons coconut oil
ΒΌ cup cocoa powder
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt together until combined. Fold in the coconut sugar, peanut butter, coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract and mix until a uniform dough forms.
Roll the dough into about sixteen 1 1β4-inch balls with your hands and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the palm of your hand. Bake for 11-12 minutes.
Once the cookies come out of the oven, immediately make an indentation in the middle of each cookie with the back of a 1β2 teaspoon measuring spoon.
Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Heat the ingredients for the chocolate kisses in a DIY double boiler until just melted (we did the microwave for 20-30 second increments). Transfer the chocolate mixture to a Ziploc bag (sandwich size) and place it in the fridge to cool for about 10 minutes. Check on this occasionally and pull it out to sit at room temperature before it gets too solid. You want it to be set, but soft enough to pipe into the center of the cookies.
Pipe the chocolate mixture into the center of each cookie. Let the cookies set at room temperate for 1 hour, or for 20 minutes in the fridge. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Sugar cookies
1/3 cup butter or refined coconut oil,
softened
1/2 cup powdered sweetener of choice
(we used powdered monk fruit)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp pink salt
1 egg
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 + 3/4 cup almond flour, superfine (I recommend sifting the almond, tapioca & coconut flour if they appear clumpy)
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tbsp maple syrup
While the cookies cool, prepare the icing: in a small bowl. whisk all the icing ingredients together and drizzle over the cooled cookies, or decorate as desired. We used SuperNatural Sprinkles. Place back on parchment paper for the icing to set - it will harden after 20 minutes or so.
Icing: you can either use the recipe below or we used SuperNatural icing ordered from Amazon!
ΒΎ cup (117g) powdered maple sugar
1 tbsp (15 ml) coconut or almond milk
Β½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F & line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl cream together the butter or coconut oil & the powdered sugar. Add in the extracts.
Add the rest of the ingredients to combine a dough.
Let the mixture chill for 10 minutes in the fridge (not freezer).
Using two pieces of parchment paper, one on the counter, & one over the dough, roll out the dough with a rolling pin or filled up water bottle to the desired thickness you want your sugar cookies to be. I made mine about 1/4 inch thick. I also made some without rolling out the dough & simply rolled the dough into balls with my hands and then flattened them out on the baking sheet before baking. This method yields a super soft & thicker type sugar cookie rather than the rolled out ones.
Carefully use cookie cutters or a circular glass to cut out your cookies.
Gently place them on your baking sheet.
I baked mine for about 7 minutes as I like a softer sugar cookie. If you like your sugar cookies crunchier, bake around 10 minutes. Watch them carefully as to not burn them. Baking time is from 5-10 minutes depending on how thick they are & the texture you are going for.
Remove from the oven & let cool before icing. I used store-bought, but you can use the glaze recipe I suggested (adding more powdered sugar until the thickness you want is reached) or your favorite icing recipe.

Peppermint brownie truffles
ΒΌ cup almond butter
ΒΌ cup coconut oil
1β2 Tbsp. maple syrup
6 Tbsp. raw cacao or baking cocoa
Pinch of sea salt (if almond butter is unsalted)
1 Tbsp. coconut flour
Few drops of peppermint extract, to taste
6 ounces white chocolate chips (1 cup) (we used Lilys)
1/2 tsp. coconut oil
Place almond butter, coconut oil, maple syrup and cacao powder in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.
Stop processor and add coconut flour. Process just until a ball of dough starts to form. Add peppermint extract and process again until mixed well. May need to add an extra 1/2-1 Tbsp. of coconut flour for dough to come together.
Working quickly, roll dough between your palms to form 12 equal-sized balls. Place on plate in the fridge and allow to chill at least 30 minutes.
When ready to dip, place chocolate chips and coconut oil in glass bowl set over a pan of simmering water to simulate a double boiler. Stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth. (You can also do this in microwave for 20 second increments)
Using a fork or wooden skewer, work quickly and carefully dip truffles one at a time into the melted chocolate, rolling and dunking until evenly coated on all sides. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes, if desired.
Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and return to the fridge until chocolate hardens.
Store truffles in a covered container on the counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. If refrigerated, allow truffles to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving to allow centers to soften a bit.
