Chocolate Heart Cookies

These chocolate heart cookies are a perfect Valentine’s Day treat for the whole family! They’re low carb, gluten free, and paleo-friendly!

Ok, my loves, last Valentine’s recipe before I gear up for some spring fling fun. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make a easy and fun dessert that’s the perfect amount of chocolatey bliss.

PLUS, how fun is this? I’m rounding up some of my favorite Valentine’s day recipes from some blogger babes that I love!! So make sure to eyeball all the goodness below!

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.
