These cookies are a chocolate lovers dream and all topped off with crushed candy canes to make the perfect Christmas cookie! Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
Directions For the cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. On an ungreased cookie sheet, drop teaspoons of the batter about 2 inches apart. For the glaze: In a small bowl mix together the sugar; mint extract and water until smooth.
Pour into the lined pan and spread out using a rubber spatula. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, heat up the white chocolate chips until melted. Whisk in the peppermint extract and pour into the pan, on top of the cooling chocolate. Carefully spread it out over the top. If using candy canes, sprinkle over the top.
In cookies, the two main carb sources are flour and sugar, and there are keto-friendly substitutes for both. Almond flour is a perfect choice for baking because its properties are similar to wheat flour, and it has a neutral flavor. Sugar substitutes have been around for a long time.
