A fudgy peppermint cookie made with only clean ingredients!
These peppermint chocolate chunk cookies are a perfect, EASY holiday cookie to make for yourself to have a cozy night at home…or to bring to a holiday party and share with friends! I ended up bringing these to a Christmas party and everyone loved them, especially those who were gluten-free and had food sensitivities like me.
And the best part is these cookies are only 6 INGREDIENTS! Yep, that’s it! And even better is they are flourless, gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free.
This quick little recipe is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. If you do add chocolate chips and want to ensure the recipe is gluten-free/dairy-free/refined sugar-free, make sure you choose the appropriate chocolate chips! The ones I used in this recipe were the Enjoy Life Foods Chocolate Mega Chunks which are dairy-free/gluten-free/vegan but do have some cane sugar. These Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips are refined sugar-free. You could also add in chunks of a Hu Kitchen Chocolate Bar which sounds phenomenal – they are gluten-free/dairy-free/refined sugar-free/vegan.
The texture of these is super gooey, soft and fudgy, just the way I like it! I hope you do, too!
Ingredients for Flourless Peppermint Chocolate Chunk Cookies:
- Natural, runny nut butter – I used Whole Foods organic almond butter
- Coconut sugar
- Egg
- Cacao powder
- Chocolate chunks
- Peppermint extract
How to Make Flourless Peppermint Chocolate Chunk Cookies:
Start by preheating the oven. Then mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Form the mix into cookies – I usually use an ice cream scooper to make this part easier!
Place cookies on a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake in the oven.
For some additional fun, sprinkle a little bit of coarse salt on top if desired. It really makes the perfect sweet and salty combo!
Be sure to let cool for a little bit before eating – since they are flourless, they need some time to “harden” up after the oven. Let cool completely before you store them.
