Green Thin Mint Cookies
These Green Thin Mint Cookies are a vegan, nutrient-packed twist on a classic favorite. Made with almond flour, unsweetened cocoa, and a hint of chlorophyll, they’re minty, and lightly sweet—perfect for a guilt-free snack or dessert that looks as good as it tastes.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour finely ground
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp mint chlorophyll
The Coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp mint chlorophyll optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour and cocoa powder. Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and mint chlorophyll to a small bowl and heat in the microwave a couple seconds.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredient with gloves.
- Place the dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out until it is very thin—about 1/8 inch. Use a small circular cookie cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out your rounds.
- Place the rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes.
- Crucial Step: Let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Almond flour cookies are soft when warm but crisp up beautifully as they cool.
- While the cookies cool, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together (either in 30-second bursts in the microwave or a double boiler). Once smooth, stir in the mint chlorophyll.
- For the coating you can Using a fork, dip each cooled cookie into the chocolate, let the excess drip off, and place them back on the parchment paperI like to add a little bit on top with a fork. Put the tray in the fridge for 10 minutes to snap-set the chocolate.
Notes
DO NOT OVERBAKE! The chlorophyll will burn and smoke.
Since these use maple syrup and almond flour, they are naturally a bit more tender than the processed original. For the ultimate crunch, store these in the fridge or freezer—they taste best (and snappiest) when eaten cold!
