Ingredients

Coconut Sugar
200g
Unsalted Butter
300g

Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper. Brush a bit of butter under the parchment paper to help it stick.
2
Cream the sugar and butter in a food processor with the paddle attachment for about three minutes. Add the flour, chlorella, and peppermint extract and stir until combined.
3
Press the cookie dough into the prepared pan, using a flat-bottomed glass to press it evenly into the pan. Cut the cookies into 24 rectangles. Prick evenly with a fork. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
4
Remove the cookies from the oven and cut through the same lines to reestablish the cookie outlines. Let the cookies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes.
5
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler. Remove from the heat.
6
Dip each cookie into the chocolate to create hair. Put two dots of chocolate on each cookie and stick two eyeballs on the dots. Use a toothpick to draw a smile and stitches. Feel free to do other face designs!
7
Serve and enjoy!
