Ingredients

Cookie

⅓ cup natural peanut butter a drippy brand like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's
¼ cup coconut oil melted
⅓ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups almond flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
14 Hershey Kisses or Chocolate Kiss
2 tablespoon peanut butter
1 teaspoon coconut oil
½ cup chocolate chips dairy-free if necessary
¼ cup cocoa powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla until well combined.
In a large bowl, mix almond flour, baking soda and salt.
Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until fully mixed.
Scoop out dough and roll into balls.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Use your finger or the back of a wooden spoon to press down centers after coming out of oven. Or just add a hershey kiss.
Let cool on wire rack.
In a microwave safe dish, add peanut butter, coconut oil and chocolate chips. Microwave in increments of 30 seconds until completely melted, stirring after each time.
Once completely melted, stir in cocoa powder.
Pour into ziplock bag (sandwich size or larger) and store in fridge for 20 minutes. You don't want it to turn solid, but instead cool down and get thick enough to pipe onto cookies. You may need to chill it longer.
Once cookies have COMPLETELY cooled, cut little piece off the corner of the ziplock baggie and pipe chocolate mixture into center in the shape of Hershey Kiss.
Let set completely before storing.
Store on counter in airtight container.
