Ingredients

COOKIES
80 g (1 cup) almond flour
180 g (2 cups) light spelt flour 
125 ml (½ cup) coconut oil
6 tbsp maple syrup 
1 tsp vanilla essence
pinch of salt

125 ml (½ cup) raspberry jam

1 bar chocolate, melted

Method

Preheat oven to 180 C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Combine all cookie ingredients in a bowl then refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Roll out dough between two sheets of parchment paper and cut out star shapes.

Bake for 10 - 15 minutes until the edges are turning slightly golden. Let cool on a wire rack.

Assemble by spreading jam onto one side of each cookie then press two stars together. Hold each cookie over a small bowl and drizzle with melted chocolate until completely covered. Alternatively, dip the cookie into a chocolate bowl. 

Let cookies sit in fridge overnight.
