Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 1 ¼ cup blanched almond flour (or tigernut flour) (115g)
- 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 Tbsp ground flax
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fudge Filling
- 2 Tbsp dark chocolate
- 3 Tbsp peanut butter (or Sunbutter)
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate (5oz)
- ½ Tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dough: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine almond flour, coconut sugar, ground flax, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix in coconut oil, water, and vanilla extract. Knead dough until well combined.
- Roll and cut cookies: Roll dough between parchment sheets to ⅛ inch thickness. Cut into rectangles about 3.5 inches by 0.75 inches using a knife or pizza cutter. Reserve excess dough for more cookies.
- Bake cookies: Place parchment with cut cookies onto baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. Separate cookies with a knife after baking and let cool for 5-10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare fudge filling: Melt dark chocolate and stir in peanut butter until smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes until thickened to frosting consistency.
- Assemble Kit Kats: Spread fudge filling between three cookies to make two layers. Place assembled bars on lined baking sheet and freeze to set.
- Make chocolate coating: Gently melt dark chocolate with coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently.
- Dip and finish: Remove assembled Kit Kats from freezer and dip each one into melted chocolate. Place back on lined baking sheet to set. Drizzle remaining chocolate on top for decoration.
Notes
- Substitute tigernut flour for a nut-free version of the cookie base.
- Ground flax can be made fresh by grinding whole flax seeds in a coffee grinder.
- For a firmer texture, chill the dough before rolling and cutting.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor in the fudge and coating.
