Low-Carb Vanilla Sandwich Cookies

The recipe makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

½ cup granulated Monk fruit sweetener
½ cup softened butter
½ cup almond flour
½ tsp baking powder
2 scoops HLTH Code Vanilla

Filling:
2 Tbsp softened butter
2 Tbsp softened cream cheese
½ tsp strawberry extract
1/3 cup powdered Monk fruit

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Cream ½ cup of butter and granulated sweetener using a hand mixer on medium speed.

In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and 2 scoops of HLTH Code Vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to a bowl with butter and mix until thoroughly combined. You can also use your food processor for this.

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Lightly grease your hands with oil and roll each piece into a smooth ball. Gently press each ball to shape cookies.

Bake for 6-8 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and cool to room temperature before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the filling, add the remaining butter and cream cheese in a separate bowl. Mix well, and then add the strawberry extract and powdered sweetener. Continue to mix until fully combined.

Transfer the icing to a piping bag with a round tip. Turn one cookie upside down and spread a layer of icing onto it. Add another cookie on top and gently press to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Refrigerate for about an hour before serving.
