Description

Delight in the simple pleasures of homemade peppermint cookies, a treat that perfectly balances festive cheer with wholesome ingredients. These cookies boast a tender, almost cloud-like crumb that melts in your mouth, delivering a refreshing burst of peppermint in every bite. The dough, crafted from a blend of almond flour and a touch of sweetness, comes together beautifully with the richness of coconut oil and a splash of almond milk, creating a symphony of flavors and textures that dance on your palate.

For a touch of holiday whimsy, the dough can be divided and swirled with a natural red hue, evoking the classic candy cane. However, the cookies are just as delightful in their natural, creamy color. The warmth of the oven transforms these humble ingredients into soft, airy delights, perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea or as a sweet ending to a festive meal.

While these cookies are wonderfully simple to make, a few key ingredients contribute to their exceptional texture. Coconut oil acts as a binding agent, lending moisture and a subtle sweetness. A powdered sweetener ensures a smooth, even consistency throughout the dough, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Stored properly in an airtight container, these cookies will maintain their soft, fluffy texture for days, allowing you to savor the taste of the holidays long after they're baked. The refreshing peppermint flavor makes them ideal for enjoying during the winter months, but they're also a delightful treat any time of year.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 350 F. Combine the almond flour, powdered sweetener, baking powder, and xanthan gum in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until well mixed. In the meantime, prepare the liquid ingredients.
    2.
    Add the remaining ingredients. Blend on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until well mixed. The dough should be soft and pliable.
    3.
    Divide the dough in half and color one half with red food coloring. Mix well to combine the color. The color is optional!
    4.
    Roll each half into a log shape, then place them together. Roll them together to form a 16 long log. Cut into 16 pieces using a bench scraper or knife.
    5.
    Place each piece of dough onto a cookie sheet. Press them flat using the bottom side of a measuring cup or drinking glass. You may want to spread some coconut oil onto the surface of the pressing utensil to ensure a nonstick surface. Bake for 14-15 or until lightly golden, puffed, and cooked through. Allow the cookies to cool completely before removing them from the cookie sheet. Cookies will store in an airtight container for up to one week.
