Vegan Twix Cookies
These cookies are so cute and so fun to make! They are a shortbread-like cookie with a layer of caramel and chocolate on top, much like the loved candy bar! They're also vegan, gluten and refined-sugar free, and made with wholesome ingredients!
Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch of sea salt
Topping
- 1/2 cup cashew butter*
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (if needed)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Mix together the dough ingredients and drop by spoonfuls onto a lined cookie sheet. Flatten them slightly with your palm. Then, using your thumb.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. I like to pop them in the freezer for a few.
- In the meantime, make the caramel by mixing the nut butter and maple syrup together until creamy. If your nut butter is really runny, you won't need to use coconut oil. But if its thick, you'll want to add the coconut oil.
- In a seperate small bowl, melt the chocolate.
- Add a little spoonful of caramel to the top of each cookie. Then add some of the melted chocolate.
- Place in the freezer to firm up. Allow the cookie to thaw a few minutes before enjoying.
