  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or grass-fed butter
  • 1 egg room temperature

For the Caramel Center:

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Drizzle:

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, cacao powder, baking soda, sea salt, and coconut sugar.
  • In another bowl, mix melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
  • Roll dough into 1.5-inch balls, place them on the baking sheet, and flatten slightly with your palm.
  • Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small indent in the center of each cookie.

Step 2: Bake the Cookies

  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, until firm around the edges.
  • Let cool completely before adding the caramel filling.

Step 3: Make the Caramel Filling

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together coconut cream and coconut sugar.
  • Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and stir in almond butter, vanilla, and sea salt. Let cool slightly.

Step 4: Assemble the Cookies

  • Spoon about ½ teaspoon of caramel into the center of each cookie.
  • Place cookies in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.

Step 5: Add the Chocolate Drizzle

  • Melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Drizzle over the cookies and return to the fridge until set.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Freeze for a longer shelf life and enjoy them straight from the freezer for a chewy, caramel-filled treat!
