Ingredients
144 g almond flour
37 g cocoa powder
13 g black cocoa powder (or additional regular cocoa)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon espresso powder or instant coffee (optional)
80 g unsalted butter, room temperature
128 g erythritol
1 large egg
56 g unsalted butter (for filling)
14 g coconut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
63–125 g powdered erythritol (to taste, for filling)
Instructions
- Whisk together almond flour, cocoa powders, xanthan gum, salt, baking soda, and espresso powder in a bowl.
- In another bowl, cream butter with a mixer for 1–2 minutes. Add erythritol and beat for 3–5 minutes until fluffy.
- Mix in the egg until just combined. Gradually add the dry mixture in two parts.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough thin (about 1/8 inch) between parchment sheets. Cut circles about 1 3/4 inches wide.
- Place cutouts on the baking sheet, freeze for 15 minutes, then bake 8–12 minutes. Cool completely to crisp up.
- For the filling: cream butter and coconut oil, add vanilla and salt, then gradually beat in powdered erythritol until fluffy.
- Spread or pipe filling onto one cookie and sandwich with another. Chill so the cream sets before serving.
Notes
Add peppermint extract to the filling for a mint Oreo version.
Make peanut butter filling by swapping half the butter for peanut butter.
Dip finished cookies in melted sugar-free chocolate for special occasions.
Cookies crisp as they cool, so let them rest fully before serving.
