Ingredients

1 cup almond flour

⅔ cup cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

⅛ tsp salt

¼ cup + 2 tbsp ghee, room temperature

¾ cup coconut sugar

1 egg, room temperature

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup Chocolate Chip Cookie Granola

¾ cup organic powdered sugar

Directions:

In a bowl combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
In another bowl, use a hand held mixer to beat the ghee until fluffy. Add in the coconut sugar and beat until light and airy, about 1-2 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla and combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and use a rubber spatula to mix until no dry spots remain.
Finally mix in the granola. Cover the dough and chill for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once chilled, use a 1.5” scooper to make cookie dough balls. Generously roll each cookie dough in sugar.
Bake the cookies with 3” of room between each cookie dough ball for 12-14 minutes. Let them cool on the tray for five minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
