Hi! This is a great recipe I came across recently, looking for a sugar free dessert. It mimics the Girl Scouts’ cookie, Thin Mints. This recipe, however, doesn’t have white refined sugar, and is instead sweetened with natural, organic maple syrup and stevia sweetener. This is a great alternative to sugary desserts that can cause inflammation in your body.

I started with some almond flour and added cocoa powder and salt. Then added the wet ingredients, maple syrup and coconut oil, and then peppermint extract. I stirred these all together. Shaped the dough into a disc and refrigerated it for about an hour. I used parchment paper to help me roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thickness or maybe a little thinner. They’re crunchier if they’re thinner, chewier if thicker. I then placed them on parchment paper and baked at 350 about 9-11 minutes. Don’t overbake!!

Later, after these had cooled, I melted together some sugar free dark chocolate chips, coconut oil, and more peppermint extract. I dipped the cookies in the melted mixture and put them in the freezer for a few minutes to harden!

These will definitely satisfy your sweet cravings and are a perfect anti-inflammatory dessert! Enjoy!!
