mixing bowl
wax paper or parchment paper
1
Make The Cookies: Heat oven to 350F and line a large cookie sheet with parchment.
2
Whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sweetener, and xanthan gum.
3
Cut in the soft butter and 1 tbsp cold water until a stiff dough forms. Use your hands to work the dough, and if it's too stiff, add another tbsp of water.
4
Place the dough on a large piece of parchment and cover with plastic cling wrap. Roll into a thin round, about 1/4 inch thick, and use a round 2-inch cookie cutter (or small glass!) to cut the dough and place cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
5
Re-roll the scraps and repeat until you are out of dough. Bake the cookies for 8-12 minutes; let cool before filling.
6
Make The Filling: Combine butter, powdered sweetener, and mint extract in a medium mixing bowl. Beat together until smooth, add the heavy cream, and continue to beat until light and fluffy. Taste and adjust the mint flavor to your preference.
7
Spread or pipe filling onto half of the cooled cookies and top with another to make a sandwich.
8
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil, stir in mint extract.
9
Dip or drizzle in minty chocolate and arrange on a piece of wax paper or parchment. Let cool and serve!
