S’mores Cookies

This recipe is modified from an @eatsbyames recipe found on the Hu Kitchen instagram page. They are Paleo-friendly and the only refined sugar added is the marshmallows.

INGREDIENTS

• Approximately 8 squares of HU salty chocolate bar, chopped

• 1 tbsp ground flax seed

• 3 tbsp water

• 1/3 cup natural maple syrup

• 2 tbsp unmelted refined coconut oil

• 2 tbsp plain almond butter

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 1/4 cups blanched almond flour

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/3 cup mini marshmallows

• A little less than 1/4 tsp sea salt (Mix most of it in but leave a little extra for topping the cookies)

STEPS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix together the ground flax seed and water in a small dish and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. This is your flax egg and can be substituted for a whole egg if desired!

3. Once the flax egg has set (it should have an egg-like gel consistency), add it to a small mixing bowl with the coconut sugar, coconut oil, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Mix with a whisk or fork until everything is well combined.

4. In a separate small mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour, salt, and baking soda. Slowly incorporate this dry mixture into the wet mixture until a moist dough has formed.

5. Fold in the mini marshmallows and Hu chocolate.

6. Using a 1 1/2 inch cookie scoop, scoop twelve small cookies and place them evenly apart on a lined baking sheet.

7. Bake for ten minutes. Sprinkle a little extra salt on top if desired after baking. I recommend a flakey sea salt for topping.
