Ingredients

Chocolate cookie

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup Swerve
  • 2 egg, beaten
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder **
  • 2 tablespoon coconut flour

Peanut Butter Icing

  • ¼ cup peanut butter **
  • ¾ cup Lakanto powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoons almond milk
  • 1 stick of butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.

To make the cookie base.

  1. Add all the ingredients for the cookie base into a mixing bowl. Cream the ingredients together to form a dough.

  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and then spoon out the dough.

  3. Bake for 12 minutes and as soon as they come out of the oven, press your thumb lightly in the center of each one to make an indentation for the icing. Set aside and cool completely before adding icing.

Peanut Butter Sugar Free Icing

  1. Add butter and sugar to a mixing bowl and beat on high for a minute or two.

  2. Add in the peanut butter and almond milk and beat once more until well incorporated.

  3. Refrigerate until cookies are baked and cooled

  4. Pipe peanut butter icing onto the cookies. I like to refrigerate mine to last longer.

  5. Makes roughly 1 ½ cup icing.
