Chocolate, Orange and Almond Cookies

My favourite cookies! These are so good - chocolaty, caramely and crunchy bites of yumminess. The almonds are rich in vitamin E but can be easily substituted with any other nut or coconut flakes and the coconut sugar gives these cookies a lovely caramel taste.

Ingredients

125g of coconut oil
200g of coconut sugar (experiment with this depending on your taste buds – I tend to use a bit less)
1 egg
240g of spelt flour
½ tsp of salt
½ tsp of baking powder
3 tbsp of raw cacao
50g of almonds
1 orange

Method

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees and line a baking tray.
Cream your sugar and coconut oil together.
Beat your egg in a separate bowl, then add to the creamed butter and sugar, mix gently.
Slowly add in the flour a little at a time and mix in with a spoon.
Lastly add in the salt, baking powder, raw cacao and almonds and mix well.
Roll into small balls and place on your baking tray. Slightly flatten each ball out into a cookie shape.
Bake for 8 minute and the let them cool. Top with orange zest before you dig.
