Paleo Chocolate Roll-Out Cookies


I grew up making chocolate roll-out cookies, with my mom. My siblings and I would each get a piece of dough that we could roll-out on our own. My favorite part was getting to choose what ever shape of cookie cutters I wanted. 


I wanted to be able to still enjoy that tradition. The first time I made these, I gave one to my younger brother. He said they tasted similar to the ones we grew up on, only that they were not as sweet, which is how I prefer them to be. 


Paleo Chocolate Roll-out Cookies


Makes 30-40 cookies, depending on there size. 

Cookie Ingredients 
1 + 3/4  Cup almond flour
1 Tablespoon coconut flour
1/2 Cup cocoa  
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg 
1/4 Cup maple syrup

Frosting Ingredients
1/3 C. Coconut Oil 
1/2 C. Cocoa Powder
1/3 C. maple Syrup 
1/4 tsp. Salt
  
Cookie Instructions 
Preheat oven to 350' F, and grease a cookie sheet with coconut oil.
Add first five ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add remaining ingredients, mix until combined.
Place dough in a zip-lock bag and Chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
Roll out between 2 pieces of wax or parchment paper about a 1/4 inch thick. Lightly flouring the dough with almond flour will help the dough not stick.
Cut into the desired shape, and place on your greased pan, reuse your off cuts by rolling it out again.
When your pan is full, bake them in preheated oven for 5-8 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies, bake them shorter or longer. They are done when the whole cookie is no longer shiny. Also when you touch them they should be soft but set.

Frosting Instructions 
Melt the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl until just melted. Add the cocoa and salt and stir till combined. Add the maple syrup and mix till combined. 
Place in the fridge for 30-45 minutes or until it is set. With an electric mixer or by hand whisk until it is smooth. You can whip this as much as you like, I like it to be more like fudge, but feel free to whip it more!  

Frost cooled cookies and serve!  

Enjoy!
