Ingredients
Scale
For the cookies:
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 3/4 cup brown rice flour
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husks (whole NOT powder)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup maple syrup OR agave
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
For the filling:
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup coconut butter
- 5 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
- For coloring: either 1/4 teaspoon each spirulina and chlorella OR 1 teaspoon matcha OR a few drops natural green food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, almond meal, cacao powder, psyllium husks, and baking soda. Add in the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment over the top. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/8th inch thick. Remove the top sheet of parchment. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out as many cookies as you can fit.
- Take the scraps leftover from punching out the cookies, and reform them into a ball. Roll out again and cut out as many more cookies as you can. You want to have an even number of cookies. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet (you may need two), and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
- In a bowl, combine the melted, but cooled, coconut butter and solid coconut oil. Beat with a hand mixer, until light and fluffy. Add in 1/2 of the powdered sugar and beat until well combined. Add in the remaining powdered sugar, peppermint extract, food coloring of choice, and beat until light and fluffy.
- Place 1 rounded teaspoon of the filling on 1/2 of the wafer cookies. Top with the second wafer, forming a sandwich. Enjoy!
