    My favourite childhood cookie made low carb and grain-free! These delicious maple cream sandwich cookies are a fun snack for kids and adults alike.

    Low Carb Maple Cream Sandwich Cookies You know that feeling you get when you find a twenty dollar bill on the ground in front of you? That’s a pretty great feeling. You know that feeling you get when you take the time to ask around and discover that it actually belongs to the elderly woman in front of you who didn’t notice it fall out of her pocket? Let’s face it; that’s an even better feeling. When you see her face light up and hear her words of thanks, you know you made the right move. In our hectic day-to-day world, little kindnesses matter. They matter a great deal. Grand gestures of charity and kindness are wonderful too, of course, but it doesn’t take buckets of money or hours of community service to be generous and brighten someone’s day. Just taking a moment to offer a little help, a kind word or a sweet but unexpected gesture can make all the difference to a stranger or a friend. Little kindnesses make the world go round.

    In the spirit of brightening everyone’s day a little bit, Folger’s is launching “The Best Part”, a social platform that will allow people to connect and share positive stories through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. So I decided to throw it wide open and ask my readers for some stories of kindness, positivity and courage that came to their minds. I couldn’t have asked for better inspiration. It brought home just how much little gestures matter in the world and how easy it is to brighten someone’s day. I thought I would share some of them with you.
    Tamara was stopped by an elderly lady in the grocery store who just wanted to chat. She was in a hurry, but she realized that the woman was lonely so she let go of her irritation and chatted with the woman as the she continued to shop. She found out that the woman was an 89 year old widow whose kids all lived in other towns. When they approached the checkout, the woman pulled a number of coupons out of her purse and gave them to Tamara, saying that she knew how expensive it was when she had a family to cook for. Clearly Tamara’s kindness was felt and appreciated by this woman, and paid back in kind.
    Barbara and her sister had fabulous success with their first invention. Now they run a website where they offer free advice and resources to new inventors. Every time they respond to a letter or inquiry from a reader, they ask that the reader pay it forward by performing a random act of kindness. They have had promises from people all over the world to continue their kindness chain.

    Jenny had just had her son and was in a fast food restaurant when a homeless woman came in and was clearly admiring her baby. Instead of ignoring her, Jenny decided to offer the woman a chance to hold her son. The woman was so shocked and touched, she had tears in her eyes as she held the baby and rocked him.
    After many years of buying food and gifts for single mothers in need at Christmas, Esther received her own small kindness from a stranger. When she was going through chemo, a woman bought her and her husband some groceries, saying that she wanted to do it because she had just lost her own mother to breast cancer. Esther says it was the best day ever, being on the receiving end of a random act of kindness.

    I know these stories certainly brighten my day, and I hope they brighten yours as well. Check out The Best Part for more wonderful stories of kindness, courage, inspiration and optimism.
    Perhaps it’s a little cliche, but one of my favourite ways to brighten someone’s day is to bake for them. Cookies are always a good option because they are often quick to make, they’re portable and they always make someone smile. These Maple Cream Sandwich Cookies are my low carb, gluten-free version of a childhood favourite.

    Servings: 24 cookies (approximately)
    Calories: 176kcal

    Ingredients

    Cookies:

    • 2 cups almond flour
    • ⅓ cup Swerve Sweetener
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 ½ tablespoon butter melted
    • 1 teaspoon maple extract
    • ⅛ teaspoon stevia extract

    Filling:

    • ¼ cup butter softened
    • 1 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
    • 2 tablespoon cream room temperature
    • ¾ teaspoon maple extract

    Instructions

    For the cookies:

    • Preheat oven to 275F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
    • Whisk almond flour, sweetener, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in egg, butter, maple extract and stevia extract until dough comes together.
    • Turn dough out onto a large piece of parchment paper and pat into a rough rectangle. Top with another piece of parchment.
    • Roll dough out to about ⅛ inch thickness. Using a 2-inch maple leaf cookie cutter (or whatever shape you prefer) to cut out as many shapes as possible. Dough can be re-rolled multiple times to get more cookies.
    • Place half the cookies face up and half face down on the prepared baking sheet (if your cookie cutter is slightly irregular, this allows you to match them up properly after they are baked).
    • Bake about 20 minutes, until light golden brown and firm to the touch. Watch them carefully, they can easily get too dark.
    • Remove from oven and let cool completely.

    For the filling:

    • Beat butter and powdered sweetener together in a medium bowl until smooth. Beat in cream and maple extract to achieve a spreadable consistency.
    • To assemble, take one cookie and spread the backside with about a teaspoon of filling. Top with another cookie, backside towards the filling.

        24 full cookies. If you got more, then you didn’t roll your dough thinly enough or your cookie cutter is much larger.

      Why do you use that little bit of stevia in the cookie recipe? I just wondered if it was in opposition to the Swerve for softening or something. I don’t like the aftertaste of Stevia but realize it’s just a teeny amount. Could you use Bocha Sweet or alllulose instead? I don’t keep stevia around and would have to go out and buy some that I’d probably never use much again!

      I like this recipe! I changed the cookie cream because I wanted something lighter, so I just threw some heavy cream into a bowl with vanilla extract and some monk fruit sweetener and whipped it to stiff peaks. Overall, this website hasn’t given me a bad recipe. The cookies only needed 10 minutes to cook for me. Started to brown on the outsides and bottom very quickly.

      If you don’t want to use maple flavor, would what would the traditional maple syrup or keto maple syrup ratio be?

        No, that would throw off the wet/dry ratios and your cookies would never firm up.
