Chocolate and Pecan Christmas Cookies

How cute are these cookies! They remind me so much of a white Christmas, which is my favourite Christmas ever. I grew up having white Christmas’s so when I’m home in Australia, it just doesn’t feel the same for me! I need the snow! Enjoy these easy, fuss-free cookies for the holidays and don’t forget to tag me on Insta with your creations (@monicayateshealth)

1/4 cup rice malt syrup
2 eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/3 cup Almond, Cacao and Coconut butter from Mayvers (if you don’t have this, just use 1/3 cup almond butter + 1 Tbsp raw cacao powder)
1/5 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup coconut flour
pinch of salt
1 tsp baking soda
Activated pecans for serving
desiccated coconut for serving
Rice malt syrup for serving (optional)

Preheat the oven to 170c and line a baking tray
In a food processor place all the wet ingredients until combined and then add in the dry ingredients and process until it forms a dough.
Roll into small balls and place on the baking tray. Press them down slightly and then add a pecan to the middle of each of the cookies.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with some desiccated coconut and drizzle with rice malt syrup (optional).
ENJOY!
