What the boss needs:

1/4 Cup walnuts

1/4 Cup macadamia nuts

1/4 Cup pecans

1/4 Cup white chocolate chips

INGREDIeNTs

1 Cup Almond Butter

1/2 Cup Bocha Sugar or Confectioners Swerve

2 Tablespoons Organic Cacao Powder

2 Tablespoons Blanched Almond Meal

1 Tablespoon Coconut Flour

2 Tablespoons Water

2 Large Grass Fed/Organic Eggs

2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil

2 Teaspoons Pure Mint extract (optional)

2 Teaspoons Baking Soda

1/4 cup Stevia Sweetened Dark Chocolate Chips

How to make it like a boss:

Preheat oven to 350°
Line a baking sheet with your best friend, magical parchment paper, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add basically everything... almond butter, confectioners swerve or Bocha sugar, coco powder, almond meal, coconut flour, water, eggs, coconut oil, peppermint extract and baking soda.
- TIP 1: I like to use fresh ground almonds from the machine at the health food store because it makes creamy, fresh almond butter with no additives or preservatives.
- TIP 2: Bocha sugar is my preference, it's an all natural sweetener made from Kabocha, a Japanese squash. It is easy to metabolize and is great for a Keto or diabetic diet. Plus, unlike Stevia, it actually tastes like cane sugar!
It's time to stir all the ingredients together. Ideally you will use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, but a spatula with some serious boss lady muscle behind it will work too. Mix it up like you mean it, until everything is combined.
Now gently fold in the chocolate chips and any nuts you would like to add.
Next, use a spoon and scoop out the dough, shaping it into about 2-inch balls. This will produce around 12 cookies. Feel free to make them a little smaller to yield more cookies.
It's time to put your cookies on the magical parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie so they can spread out.
Bake for 10-12 min.
Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool on a cooling rack or plate. Make sure to take them off the baking sheet, or they will keep cooking.
