Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Mix the dough: In a bowl, combine almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined. Then gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  2. Shape the dough: Lay a piece of parchment paper on a cutting board or a large plate. Transfer the cookie dough mixture onto the parchment paper. Use a silicone spatula or clean hands to press and flatten the dough firmly to about 1/2-inch thickness. Set aside while preparing the topping.
  3. Melt the chocolate topping: In a small bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Assemble the bark: Pour and evenly spread the melted chocolate over the flattened cookie dough. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top if desired for an extra burst of flavor.
  5. Chill and serve: Place the cookie dough bark in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the chocolate. Once firm, chop into large chunks and enjoy immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • Store bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
  • For long-term storage, keep the bark in the freezer for up to 3 months and thaw before eating.
  • You can substitute almond flour, cashew butter, and maple syrup with alternatives based on dietary preferences.
  • Flaky sea salt is optional but enhances the chocolate flavor with a salty contrast.
