Recipe: Grain-Free Valentine Love Cookies

Feb 10

There is no better combination than chocolate and raspberries. For Valentines Day this year I thought I would pair them up in a fun roll-out cookie. I found these LOVE cutouts at a garage sale. They were new. I knew they would come in handy for something!

Here is a recipe for Homemade Chocolate (GAPS legal) if you want to keep it real simple!

Grain-Free Valentine Love Cookies

Ingredients for Cookies

3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup ghee softened (how to make)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 tsp stevia
1/2 cup coconut flour (where to buy coconut flour)
1/2 cup almond flour (where to buy almond flour) (how to make)
1/4 cup cocoa powder (where to buy)
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Equipment

Cuisinart electric hand beater (where to buy) or food processor
Rolling pin (buy a rolling pin like this one)
Cookie sheets stainless steel (where to buy)
Parchment paper (where to buy parchment paper)
LOVE cookie cutters, hearts or any other shapes

Instructions for Filling

This filling was raspberry jam (which tastes awesome with chocolate)
Use this recipe for raspberry jam or use some other jam you may have on hand

Instructions for Dough

In a food processor mix the eggs
Add the vanilla, stevia and honey and mix
Add the coconut flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and mix together
In the processor add the softened ghee in small chunks and process
Remove from processor when it has formed a ball, divide in two and place on plastic warp in two disc shapes
Refrigerate for 10 – 15 minutes to get it cold
Roll out the dough ball between 2 sheets of wax or parchment paper – it helps to tape down the bottom sheet
Using the cookie cutter, cut the letters our carefully
Using a spatula, transfer the shapes to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
You may take all the scrapes left from cutting the circles, roll them into a ball and roll out this dough again
If the dough is too soft, put it in the refrigerator for 5 – 10 minutes then roll out again
Use other shaped cookie cutters for more fun
Bake at 300 degrees F for 10 – 12 minutes
Fill the cookies
You may freeze the second disc if you do not want to make all the cookies at once
