Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp applesauce
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Caramel Sauce

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk, canned
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • salt

Chocolate Filling

  • 1/3 cup dairy free chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Set the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine the almond butter, egg, applesauce, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract.
  3. Add in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Combine evenly.
  4. Place the dough in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove from the fridge and roll the dough into slightly larger than tablespoon sized balls. Should make 9 cookie cups!
  6. Spray a muffin tin and place the cookie dough balls into the tins. Flatten down with your fingers.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and as soon as possible (without burning yourself!) flatten the middle of the cookies to form cookie cups. I just do this with my fingers!
  9. Set the cookies aside and start working on the caramel sauce.
  10. Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan and then add in the coconut sugar, coconut milk, and a sprinkle of salt. Combine everything.
  11. Bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes and then reduce the heat to let thicken up. If you are having trouble thickening it, simply bring back to a simmer but be careful not to burn it!
  12. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Fill the cookie cups with about 1 tsp each.
  13. Set aside. Begin melting the chocolate.
  14. In a double boiler slowly heat the chocolate chips and coconut milk together until smooth.
  15. Add about 1 tsp of the chocolate filling to each cookie cup on top of the caramel and spread.
  16. If you have extra caramel sauce leftover, drizzle on top of the cookies! Sprinkle with salt.
  17. Enjoy!!!!!!
  18. Note: It will take about 1-2 hours for the chocolate filling to set. You can speed up this process by putting the cookies in the fridge!
