Servings 13
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ⅓ cup brown monk fruit/allulose
- ⅓ cup monk fruit/allulose
- ¼ cup oat fiber
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
For the Filling
- 1 ¼ cups chopped pecans, toasted
- ¼ cup brown monk fruit/allulose
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
To Make the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 325°.
- Add the almond flour, oat fiber, baking soda and xanthan gum into a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- In a separate bowl, add in the butter and both sweeteners, then cream them together using a hand mixer. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, then continue mixing.
- Pour in the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough, forming each cookie into a ball.
- Place on a baking sheet that’s been lined with parchment paper.
- Press your thumb into the center of each cookie, creating a divot in the center. Alternatively, you can use the back of a measuring spoon or melon baller instead.
- Bake for 18 minutes or until slightly golden. While the cookies are still warm, press down in the center, to reinforce the divot. Allow to cool at room temperature, while you prepare the filling.
To Make the Filling
- Heat the butter and sweetener in saucepan over medium low and simmer 2 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the pecans, vanilla and cinnamon. Scoop the filling in each of the cookies and allow to set before serving.
