Preparation

Preheat the oven to 225F and line two baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder and salt. Add in egg, 2 Tbsp. melted coconut oil, vanilla and stevia and stir to form a dough.
Roll out dough between two pieces of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thick. Remove top piece of parchment.
Using a 2-inch diameter cookie cutter, cut out circles and place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake cookies until firm, about 40-50 minutes. Let cookies remain in oven to continue to crisp.
For the coating, use a double boiler or place a metal bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (don’t allow the bowl to touch the water). Add remaining coconut oil and chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in peppermint extract.
Dip cookies into chocolate, using two forks or tongs to fully coat cookie. Place dipped cookie on waxed paper to cool and set.
