Ingredients
Chocolate Cookies
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped
- 6 tbsp butter
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup Swerve Sweetener
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
Chocolate Espresso Filling
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 2 tsp espresso powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ounces sugar free dark chocolate melted and cooled
Instructions
Cookies
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sweetener, espresso powder, vanilla extract and salt until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the melted chocolate.
- All at once, add the almond flour, cococa powder, and baking powder and mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerated 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Using about 1 1/2 tbsp of dough, roll into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake 5 minutes, then remove from the oven and gently press down to about 1/2 inch thick with a flat bottomed glass. Cover the bottom of the glass with parchment paper if the cookies are sticking.
- Bake another 12 to 15 minutes, until just barely firm to the touch. Remove and let cool completely on the pan.
Filling
- Make sure the butter is very well softened. Place in a medium bowl and beat until smooth. Beat in the powdered sweetener, espresso powder, and vanilla extract.
- Beat in the melted chocolate until smooth.
To assemble
- Take one cookie and pipe or spread the bottom with the filling. Top with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
