Makes ~16 cookies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00ba F<\/strong><\/p>\n Combine all the dry ingredients (flours, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda) in a large mixing bowl and stir together. In another bowl, melt the wet ingredients (coconut oil, applesauce, almond milk, vanilla, and peppermint extract) and whisk together until fully incorporated.

You can either brush the chocolate over the cookies or go all-in and simply dip them into the bowl of melted chocolate.
