Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup Swerve confectioner
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup raw pecans, crushed
Glaze
- 3 tbsp cacao butter
- 2 tbsp Swerve confectioner
Vanilla Frosting
- 1/2 stick butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup Swerve confectioner
- 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Frosting
- 1/2 stick butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup Swerve confectioner
- 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, Swerve, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the vanilla extract and half the dry mixture, then beat with a hand mixer until combined.
- Add the egg and mix again. Add the remaining dry mixture and beat until a dough forms.
- Place the pecans in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Fold the crushed pecans into the dough until evenly distributed.
- Turn the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and shape it into a rectangular log. Roll the log tightly in the parchment and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- After 30 minutes, slice the log into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place them on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until the edges are golden. Let cool completely.
- Melt the cacao butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then stir in the Swerve. Dip cooled cookies halfway into the glaze and freeze for 20 minutes to set.
- Prepare frostings: Beat ingredients for each frosting separately until smooth. Pipe mummy stripes onto the glazed cookies and add two dots for eyes.
