Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Cookies

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened black cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews soaked in water for at least 4 hours or overnight
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
  • Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to form cookies.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  • While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling. Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender or food processor along with the coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Once the cookies have cooled, spread a generous amount of the cashew cream filling onto the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie on top.
  • Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
  • Place the assembled cookies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make the cookie pieces however small or large you want. For a true "Oreo" size, do not make the balls larger than 1 tablespoon.
  • Try not to overbake the cookies or they will become hard, and the filling will pour out when you bite into them.
