½ tsp. almond extract

½ tsp. orange extract

2.8 oz. (80g) dark chocolate chips

How to Prepare

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with baking paper.

In a bowl, mix the almond flour, baking soda, coconut oil, maple syrup, almond extract, orange extract and a pinch of salt until a dough forms.

Portion the dough into balls (about 2 tbsp. each) and place on the baking sheet, spacing them inches (8cm) apart. Press down to flatten slightly.

Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, or microwave in 30-second intervals. Drizzle the chocolate over the cookies and refrigerate for 15 minutes until set.
