Gluten-Free Bourbon Caramel Samoas

Step 1

Combine almond meal, 1/4 cup chocolate chips, coconut, baking powder, salt, and sugars in a large bowl (amount of chocolate chips as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat egg vigorously until nearly doubled in volume. Whisk in the coconut oil and vanilla, then add to dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Step 3

Chill in the fridge for 15-30 minutes, or overnight.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and shape dough small discs - about 15 cookies. Place on baking sheet, giving each cookie about 1-1/2 inches of room.

Step 5

Bake until edges begin to brown, 10-13 minutes. You want them brown on the edges but not too dark overall.

Step 6

Remove from oven, transfer to cooling rack and pop in fridge or freezer for 5 or so minutes. In the meantime, melt 3/4 cup chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 15-20 second increments. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.

Step 7

Remove cookies from fridge or freezer and using a spoon, coat the bottom of each cookie in a thin layer of chocolate. Place back on silicon mat or wax paper and then drizzle with bourbon caramel sauce and remaining melted chocolate.

Step 8

Refrigerate or freeze for another 5 minutes to set. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a couple days. Freeze for even longer freshness.
