But first, let’s make some chocolate heart cookies! You guys, these are so moist and chewy but thin and delicate, I really really love how they turned out. And it turns out I’m super into cookie cutters, so it’s one of those fun-for the whole family kinda treats.
In your bowl, mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, and sea salt. Add the ghee, egg, and vanilla. Fold until combined.
Place the dough in between two pieces of parchment paper or cling wrap and roll it until 1/4 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut 12 hearts and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

I’m in the middle of making them and my dough is super wet. Any tips for getting them cut out and cute without making a huge mess?
Ah that’s unusual! I think maybe chilling your dough will let it set and then will be easier to cut into shapes.
