Instructions
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 12 cookies (1 per serving)
Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF and line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, beat together the almond butter and Swerve until well combined. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the collagen, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt and beat until well combined.
- Roll the dough into 12 balls, each about 1 ½ inches in diameter, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Press down with the heel of your hand to about ½ inch thick.
- Bake 12 to 14 minutes, until puffed and set around the edges. Remove and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
Mint Frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until well combined and smooth, then beat in the Swerve Confectioners.
- Beat in the mint extract and food coloring until well combined. Spread over the cooled cookies.
Chocolate Glaze:
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the Swerve chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat on high in short bursts (about 20 seconds), stirring in between.
Once melted and smooth, spoon over the mint frosting, allowing the frosting to peak through. Refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
