For the last week I’ve been making different renditions of this recipe and I finally nailed it. Full disclosure, this recipe was inspired and adapted from Nicole Modic aka @kalejunkie. I was craving a good chocolate chip cookie, but then saw Sammy Eason post freezer cookies and got the idea to combine the two. It’s been pretty hot here and I had no desire to turn on the oven, so to the freezer I went! These freezer cookies are perfect for any occasion and I promise it’ll be a crowd pleaser amongst your friends and family. I hope everyone has a happy labor day weekend and if you’re going to a gathering, I definitely recommend bringing these!
Dough Ingredients
3/4 cup almond flour
3/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup dairy free dark chocolate, chopped (I use Enjoy Life semi-sweet mega chunks)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp coarse sea salt
Glaze Ingredients
1/2 cup dairy free dark chocolate (I use Enjoy Life semi-sweet mega chunks)
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
coarse sea salt for topping
Method For The Dough
In a large mixing bowl combine the almond flour, tahini, maple syrup, and coarse sea salt. Stir with a spatula until the contents become a batter.
Finely chop your dark chocolate of choice and add it to the batter. Then add in your 1/2 scoop of Vital Proteins Vanilla Collagen and fold all of the ingredients together again with your spatula.
Once everything is combined line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
With a spoon, take the batter and form a “cookie" shape with your hands. Make sure they’re all around the same size.
Place in the freezer for at least 40 minutes. You want them to be pretty solid so they can be dunked into melted chocolate later.
Method For The Glaze
In a microwavable bowl, place your dark chocolate of choice in with the coconut oil. Microwave in 45 second intervals while stirring each time. It typically takes me around 2 minutes in total. Once it’s completely melted, add in your vanilla extract and stir again.
Take your cookies out of the freezer. Dunk the cookies in the melted chocolate mixture and make sure they’re coated on each side. Set back on the parchment paper and repeat.
Once all cookies are coated sprinkle them with coarse sea salt and place back in the freezer for 40 minutes to harden. If you have any remaining melted chocolate, simply re-dunk them or drizzle the chocolate over the cookies with your spoon. Place back in the freezer.
Keep these in the freezer until ready to be enjoyed!
