Unreal Gemster Cookies
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Naturally Sweetened, Grain-Free, Refined Sugar-Free Option, Blood Sugar Friendly, Kid-Approved
These cookies are soft, chewy, and full of crunchy chocolatey bites thanks to Unreal Dark Chocolate Gems. Made with almond flour, coconut oil, and almond butter, they’re naturally sweetened and balanced with healthy fats, perfect for stable energy, blood sugar balance, and satisfying that sweet craving without the crash. They’re the “healthified” version of a childhood classic, Monster Cookie vibes, but made for grown-up guts and hormone health.

Ingredients
Makes 12 cookies
2 tbsp (30g) coconut oil, softened (not melted)

Mix coconut oil, coconut sugar, and almond butter in a bowl until smooth.
Add egg and vanilla, mixing again.
Stir in baking soda, salt, and almond flour to form a soft dough.
Fold in Unreal Gems, saving a few for topping.
Scoop 2 tbsp dough (35–40g), roll into balls, and flatten slightly on baking sheet.
Press extra Gems on top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using.
Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centres are set.
Cool for 5 minutes on a tray, then transfer to a wire rack.
