I love making grain-free cookies! They are so quick & easy to make and I usually have everything needed on hand. AND I absolutely LOVE that these nut-based cookies are packed with nutrition, so I can feel good about serving them to my family. These delicate chocolat-y cookies are a yummy treat any time of day!

- 1/2 cup cocoa powder

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter or coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon chocolate extract
OR espresso powder or teeccino herbal coffee - 1 large egg, cold
