Combine all but the optional ingredients together until well mixed.

Place spoonfuls of approximately 2 Tbsp of the mixture onto dehydrator trays and dry at 115° for about 12 hours. The benefit of this is that you will not lose and beneficial properties from the raw honey and coconut oil. If you do not own a dehydrator, never fear! Just place on a cookie sheet and bake as low as your oven will allow for about an hour and a half.

Place in a sealed container to retain moisture.

If using almonds, press one into the bottom of the cookie.

To include the chocolate sauce, mix together equal amounts of cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, and honey to make a syrup. You can then place a spot of chocolate onto a sheet of waxed paper and press the cookie onto it,completely coat the cookie in chocolate, or like the very first photo on this post, just place a small spot of chocolate on top of each one.

If using chocolate, place in the refrigerator until set, remove before consuming so they soften.
