My husband is a HUGE mint fan, so I recently made these Flourless Peppermint Chocolate Cookies for him. They were a huge hit and they only take a few minutes to make. You may also like my flourless chocolate muffins or my flourless brownies.
Not only are these cookies filled with peppermint chocolate goodness, but they also come with a secret ingredient that will give you a healthy boost of protein and fiber! These Flourless Peppermint Chocolate Cookies are vegan, gluten free and grain free. They only contain a handful of healthy ingredients!

Ingredients

- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract (or more for an extra minty flavor)
- 1 tsp baking powder

- In a food processor , combine all the ingredients. Mix well.
- If the batter looks a little too wet, stick the bowl in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Using a cookie scoop , drop cookies onto a lined baking sheet .
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Let cool before removing from the baking sheet.
Recipe Notes
