Servings: persons

1/4 cups Coconut Oil, Melted, Plus 1/2 Teaspoon For Melting Chocolate
3 Tablespoons Agave
1/2 cups Coconut Sugar, Packed
1/4 cups Unsweetened Applesauce, Chilled (See Note)
1/2 Tablespoons Vanilla Extract
3 ounces, weight Dairy-free Mini Chocolate Chips, Divided
1-1/2 cup Almond Flour (150g)
5 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder (30g)
3 Tablespoons Coconut Flour, Packed (21g)
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoons Salt
3 Tablespoons Hammons Black Walnuts, Finely Chopped

1
In a large bowl, stir 1/4 cup of the melted coconut oil and agave. Add coconut sugar, applesauce and vanilla and beat, using an electric hand mixer, until well combined.
2
Place 1 ounce (about 2 tablespoons) of the chocolate in a small, microwave-safe container, along with remaining 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil. Microwave using 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and melted. Beat into the oil mixture.
3
Add all the remaining ingredients, except walnuts and remaining chocolate chips, into the bowl and beat until well combined. Stir in remaining chocolate chips and walnuts. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour so that the cookie dough firms up.
4
Once chilled, heat oven to 350u00b0F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
5
Roll the dough into lightly heaping tablespoon-sized balls (I used a cookie scoop) and place onto the baking sheets. Press each cookie out just under 1/2 inch thick.
6
Bake until edges are lightly crisp and the top feels set, but still soft, about 20 minutes. Cool on the pan completely. Devour!

Notes:
8
It's important for the applesauce to be chilled and right out of the fridge.
9
As with all gluten-free baking, please weigh your flour to ensure results.
10
If you can't fit both cookie sheets in the oven at once, keep the rest of the dough in the fridge until ready to bake.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
