1 cup cacao powder (or cocoa powder, I prefer cacao)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1½ teaspoon Stevita stevia
⅔ cup coconut oil, melted, but not hot
2 Tablespoon Raw Honey
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
¼ cup chocolate chips
pink salt, to top the cookies
*To make the cookies a bit sweeter, you can add 2 Tablespoons of coconut sugar along the step with the cacao powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
In a small bowl, mix the cacao powder, salt, baking soda and stevia and mix gently with a fork. The cocoa powder has a tendency to get everywhere, so start slow
In a medium bowl add the coconut oil, raw honey, egg, vanilla and almond extract and mix together with a hand mixer
Slowly add in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix with the hand mixer on low
Once combined, stir in the chocolate chips
Use a cookie scoop and put the cookies on a cookie sheet
Sprinkle some pink salt over the top of the cookies, the saltiness adds so much to the cookie when you first bite into it
Bake for 10 minutes and let sit on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes to have them set. They are a crumbly cookie, so setting them is key
Store in the fridge or the freezer. My personal favorite is eating them frozen!
