Equipment
- Hand Mixer
- Rolling Pin
- Small Round Cookie Cutter
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
For the Creamy Filling
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (or unsalted butter)
- 1 1/2 cups Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (or more as needed)
- 2 teaspoons Heavy cream (add 1 additional teaspoon if needed)
Instructions
- For the Cookies: Start by creaming together the softened unsalted butter and Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend in a medium bowl using a hand mixer until the mixture is wonderfully light and fluffy. Next, beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt. This creates your dry ingredient mix.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Continue beating with your hand mixer until a uniform, smooth dough forms.
- Shape the dough into a rectangular block, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until it becomes firm and easy to handle.
- Once chilled, place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll it out evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with fresh parchment paper.
- Using a small round cookie cutter (a mason jar rim works great!), cut out circular cookies from the rolled dough. Carefully transfer them to the lined baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges feel firm. Be sure not to overbake them! Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before proceeding to the next step.
- For the Creamy Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened coconut oil (or butter), powdered Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, and vanilla extract until the mixture resembles fine pebbles.
- Slowly add the heavy cream, one teaspoon at a time, continuing to beat until a thick, creamy, and spreadable frosting forms.
- Assemble Your Healthy Oreos: Once the chocolate cookies are entirely cool, pipe or gently spread 1-2 teaspoons of the creamy vanilla filling onto the flat side of half of your cookies.
- Top each filled cookie with another plain cookie to create your delightful sandwich. Repeat this process until all cookies are assembled.
