Low-key lo-custs for Passover! These cookies are the cutest way to explain the biblical plagues to your littles (or even to just celebrate nature and all of its creatures!) Gluten-free and dairy-free!
Cookies
2 cups almond flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ cup butter, softened
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup chocolate chips
Decorating
¼ cup white chocolate, melted with 1/4 tsp coconut oil
Dates
Pecans
Passover pretzel sticks
Mini chocolate chips
1Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour and baking powder and mix well. Toss in the softened butter, pure maple syrup, vanilla, and chocolate chips. Mix until well combined.
3Using a cookie scoop, form cookie balls on the baking tray and smush down with a spatula and your fingers, creating a round cookie shape.
4Bake for 10-20 minutes until the edges are golden. Let them cool.
5Take your melted white chocolate and spoon about 1 tsp on each cookie. Immediately place a date on the chocolate. Place a dab of white chocolate on the front of the date to glue down your pecan. Add white chocolate dabs for eyes on the pecan and place 2 mini chocolate chips. Break 2 pretzels in half and position them on the side of the date as legs, pressing them into the cookie. Enjoy!
