Ingredients

100g

Coconut Sugar

200g

Unsalted Butter

300g

Organic All-Purpose Flour

3tsp

Chlorella Powder

1tsp

Peppermint Extract

1/4cup

Dark Chocolate Chips

2Tbsp

Coconut Oil

2Tbsp

Eyeball Sprinkles

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!
