Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the almond butter, coconut sugar, avocado oil and peppermint extract. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, mix until well combined and smooth, about 1 minute. Add the eggs and continue mixing for another minute until creamy and smooth.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add ½ the flour mixture and mix until well  incorporated. Add the rest of the flour mixture and continue mixing until combined. Using a spatula, stir until mixture is well combined and has a brownie/cookie dough like texture. Fold in the chocolate chips/chunks until evenly distributed.
  • Form the dough into 1 inch size balls (about 2 tablespoons) and place on baking sheet about 1.5 inches apart. You can use an ice-cream scoop to make it easier, and to make your cookies equal in size. Gently flatten them by pressing down.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes until firm to the touch and doubled in size.
  • Remove from oven and allow to set on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack cool completely.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container for a up to 3 days on the counter or freeze for up to 1 month.

Notes

NOTE:
*you can skip the peppermint extract if you want to make regular double chocolate chip cookies.
**If you want to make these extra festive and pepperminty, top the cookies with crushed candy cane as soon as they come out of the oven.
