What is Dermaplanning?

Dermaplanning also known as epidermal leveling is a very effective and gentle way of removing superficial dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.  A medical blade is used to gently scrape off excess dead, dehydrated and damaged skin cells, giving your skin an incredibly smooth and radiant glow. Vellus hair is removed during the procedure allowing advanced skin care products to penetrate easily into the skin, giving a light and lifted appearances to the skin. You will be amazed at just how smooth your skin feels and how flawless your make-up looks after this very beneficial treatment. 

Add on Anti Aging Peel

Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies (Gluten-Free and Vegan)

Vegan, gluten-free

Yield
18 cookies

Prep Time
10 Minutes

Cook time
10 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 1/3 cups raw almonds, processed into almond meal (about 1.5 cups almond meal)
• 1/4 cup brown rice flour
• 2 tbsp ground flax
• 1/4 tsp + 1/8th tsp fine grain sea salt
• 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
• 1/2 cup raw almond butter (see note)
• 1/4 cup + 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• 5-6 tbsp raspberry jam
• approx 1/3 cup shredded coconut, for rolling

Directions:

1.   Preheat oven to 350F and spray a large baking sheet with oil, use a silpat mat, or line with parchment paper.

2.   If making almond meal, place raw almonds into a high-speed blender. Process on high speed until a fine crumb, making sure not to process too long or the oils will release. Alternatively, you can use store bought almond meal.

3.   In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients (almond meal, rice flour, ground flax, salt, and baking powder). Use your fingers to break up any clumps of the almond meal. In a smaller bowl, mix together the almond butter, maple syrup, and almond extract. Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir until combined.

4.   Shape dough into balls (about 1.5 tbsp or so). If dough is too sticky, place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to firm up.

5.   Roll balls in coconut. Place balls of dough about 1.5-2 inches apart on the baking sheet. With your thumb, press into the middle of the ball and shape a small well with your fingers. Add 1 tsp of jam into each well.

6.   Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes, watching closely after 9 minutes. I baked mine for 11.5 minutes. Cool on sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Channel your inner grandma and enjoy with hot tea!

Tips:

If making these completely gluten-free be sure to check all your ingredients to ensure they are certified gluten-free. The almond butter I used is very "drippy" so I don’t suggest using a firm nut butter here. If you do, you may have to add some oil to the mixture. You can also roll the balls in chopped nuts instead of coconut.
