These cookies have been on my mind lately. I actually created this recipe in the Spring because I knew once the weather turned cooler in the Fall that I would be craving a cookie like this.
This chocolate cookie is perfect with a cup of hot apple cider, but I also think they would be delicious for the upcoming holiday season. I can imagine myself enjoying these in the Winter with a hot chocolate or dipping these in some festive icing for a holiday treat!
If you have successfully reintroduced chocolate then you can go ahead and sub chocolate for the carob. I used chopped skinned tiger nuts and homemade carob chips (recipe here) to make these AIP compliant but you could use dairy free chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, or macadamia nuts instead, if you tolerate them. If you wish you could also just leave out the tiger nuts or nuts and keep these simply chocolate.
Whether you decide to make these for a treat or save them for your cookie exchange this holiday season, I guarantee you are going to love them!
