Paleo Twix Cookies (grain-free, refined sugar free)

HOLY MOLY is all I gotta say — these cookies are ridiculous. Chewy, moist sugar cookies topped with rich, sweet caramel and dark, silky chocolate. AND grain-free? It's almost too good to be true. Almost. 

What you need:

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/3 cup coconut sugar (can sub reg. sugar)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• pinch salt

DATE CARAMEL

• 10 dates
• 2 tbsp nut butter (optional, but adds richness)
• Almond milk or water, to thin (about 1-2 tbsp)

CHOCOLATE

• 1 chocolate bar or 1/3 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp coconut oil

What to do:

1. Bake the cookies — mix all ingredients together and bake @ 325 for 12-15 min. 
2. While cookies bake, make the date caramel. In a high-speed blender, mix all ingredients together and blend on high until smooth.
3. Remove cookies from the oven. While cookies cool, make the chocolate sauce. Melt chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave (stir frequently).
4. After cookies have cooled, frost with caramel and drizzle with chocolate. 
5. Take the perfect photo for your insta, then inhale ;-)
