Ingredients

The following ingredients have 45 Servings
  • 4 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 1/4 cup Swerve Sweetener
  • 2 large eggs
  • Zest of one large orange
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Mini M&Ms, (nonpareils, chopped nuts etc (optional))
  • 3 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate

Instruction

  • For the cookies, preheat oven to 325F and line several large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter with sweetener until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg, orange zest and vanilla.
  • Beat in almond flour mixture until dough comes together.
  • Fill the canister of a cookie press with dough and fit press with your plate of choice. Follow manufacturer's directions regarding how to press out cookies (mine requires a quarter to half a turn of the handle).
  • Press cookies out onto parchment lined cookie sheets. If the cookie does not release well from the cookie press, try holding the parchment down against the cookie sheet as you lift the press. You also may need a bit more dough to come through the press to release properly. (This takes a bit of practice at first, but if you mess up and end up with a blob of dough, you can just pick it up and put it back into the press).
  • Bake cookies 12 to 14 minutes, or until set but not browning much around the edges. They will be quite soft still.
  • Add any decorations immediately upon removing from oven. Let cool on pans at least 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the chocolate dip, place a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water (bottom of bowl should not touch water). Line a baking with waxed paper or parchment paper.
  • Add chopped chocolate and stir until melted and smooth (if your chocolate is too thick for coating, add some butter or oil a tsp at a time until the right consistency is achieved).
  • Add cookies, one at a time, face up into the melted chocolate so bottom is coated. Remove with a fork and tap fork against the side of the bowl gently to remove excess chocolate.
  • Place cookies on prepared baking sheet and let set. You can dip all the cookies, half of them or none of them, it's up to you!
