Double Dark Chocolate Cookies – The Yummy & Healthy Recipe!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup (150g) dates, chopped
- 1 cup extra dark cocoa powder
- 1 cup hazelnut meal
- ½ cup almond meal
- 1 large egg
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1 ripe avocado
- ¼ tsp Himalayan or unrefined sea salt
- ¼ cup cacao nibs
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup Brazil nuts, chopped
- Whisk together nut meals, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a food processor, mix avocado, vanilla, coconut oil, dates and egg. Process until smooth and creamy.
- Add flour mixture in three portions, mixing each just until incorporated. Do not overprocess.
- Transfer to large mixing bowl and stir in cocoa nibs, Brazil nuts and cranberries.
- Refrigerate dough for a few hours until firm.
- Place the dough on a clean work surface and divide in four. Place each piece over plastic film, and shape into logs about 10 centimeters long. Refrigerate for about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut dough into 3 pieces, and cut each piece into 3 slices. Flatten and shape cookies slightly with your fingers, as they will not really move or expand while in the oven.
- Place cookies 1½ inches apart on baking sheets and bake for about 9 minutes, or until cookies look barely baked. They will be very soft and fragile but do not overbake.
- Delicately place cookies on a cooling rack and allow to cook completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
