DIRECTIONS:
COOKIES
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, Swerve Sweetener, whey protein powder, coconut flour and baking powder. Stir in eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and extract until well combined.
Step 3
Using your hands, form dough into balls about 1 ½ inches in diameter. Place on prepared baking sheets 3 or 4 inches apart. Press down with the palm of your hand to flatten to about ½ inch thick.
Step 4
Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until just firm and edges are just golden brown. Remove and let cool completely.
FROSTING
Step 1
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate and butter. Stir until just melted and smooth, then remove from heat. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine Swerve Confectioners with cream and vanilla extract. Stir in water a little at a time until a thin frosting consistency is achieved. Add half of the frosting to the melted chocolate in the pan, stirring until well combined.
Step 3
If the chocolate frosting begins to thicken too much, return over low heat and stir gently until thinner and smooth.
Step 4
Spread each cookie with half of the white frosting and half of the chocolate frosting. Let cool until set.
