Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cookies

For the cookies: In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (oat flour, cacao powder, baking powder, coconut sugar). In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (vanilla, peppermint extract, almond butter, flax eggs, nut milk). Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir until completely incorporated and a dough forms. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 11 minutes.

For the optional frosting: Shake the can of full fat coconut milk. In a bowl, combine the ~3/4 cup full fat coconut milk, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 T sugar, 1/8 tsp peppermint extract, 1 T cacao powder, and 2 T coconut flour. Combine with an electric mixer until smooth. Let the frosting sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to thicken up before applying to cooled cookies.
