Servings: 6 cookies
Ingredients
Cookie Layer
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 3 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Caramel Layer
- 1/2 cup nut butter (half cashew butter, half peanut butter recommended)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 serving collagen
Topping
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 12 candy eyes (or mini chocolate chips in white chocolate)
- 6 red candies or raspberries
- 6 mini pretzels cut in half
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until a dough forms. Divide the dough into 6 balls and flatten each to about 1/4-inch thickness on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the caramel layer by mixing together the nut butter, maple syrup, and collagen until smooth.
- Once the cookies are cool, spread the caramel layer evenly over each cookie.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Spread the melted chocolate over the caramel layer on each cookie.
- Decorate each cookie with pretzel pieces as antlers, candy eyes, and a red candy or raspberry for the nose.
- Place the cookies in the fridge for 5 minutes to set. Enjoy!
