An Adria original. Is it original if I combined two recipes? This recipe was inspired by two of my favorite cookie recipes. One for Peanut Butter Cookies, and the other for Ginger Cookies .
Chocolate Fudge Cookies
2 T. coconut oil (plus some for greasing the baking sheet)
2 c. raw sunflower seeds, hulled
2 fresh organic eggs
2/3 c. raw honey
2/3 c. plain baking cocoa
2 t. pure vanilla extract
1/4 t. real salt
optional: 1/4 c. dehydrated, unsweetened, shredded coconut
Cream the 2 T. coconut oil and 2 c. sunflower seed in a food processor or blender until a butter consistency is obtained. If using a food processor or blender, add remaining ingredients and process until smooth. If this is too much for your processor or blender, stir in the remaining ingredients by hand until well incorporated.
Place batter by rounded tablespoons onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Lightly flatten (these fluff a little, but really don't change shape much). Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet to a cooling rack (these will stick if left to cool completely on the baking sheet, and will fall apart if not allowed to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the baking sheet). This recipe makes 18-24 cookies.
This isn't quite GAPS because you can't have cocoa on the GAPS diet, however if I need to cheat, this is one of my go-to recipes. Delicious and not too far off the beaten GAPS path.
