Ingredients

Scale

For the Chocolate Cookies:

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk

For the Peppermint Filling:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup powdered erythritol
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (adjust for consistency)
  • Optional: Green food coloring

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mix almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and erythritol until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the almond milk, until a thick batter forms.
  • Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the lined baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While cookies cool, prepare the filling. Beat the cream cheese, butter, and powdered erythritol together until smooth. Add peppermint extract and mix well. Gradually add heavy cream until the filling reaches the desired consistency.
  • Match cookies into pairs of similar size. Spread or pipe the filling onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with its pair.
  • Chill for 15 minutes to set, or serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
  • You can freeze assembled pies individually for longer storage.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cookies; they should stay soft and chewy.
