Equipment Needed






1
Heat oven to 350F and line a dark-colored baking sheet with a silicone mat.
2
Microwave the butter in a small bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, and sweetener.
3
Once the butter has lost some of its heat, add the egg, vanilla, and optional orange zest and beat just until combined.
4
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until a wet batter forms. Be very careful not to over mix or incorporate too much air into the batter. This ensures smooth top cookies!
5
Scoop the batter into a pastry bag and cut the tip so the opening is 1 inch in diameter. Pipe the dough into two-inch strips about 1 inch apart, making sure you squeeze hard enough to get a smooth strip. use your finger to gently smooth the ends of each strip.
6
Bake in the lower third of your oven for 10 minutes, watching for browning. Once the edges begin to turn a light brown, remove and let cool slightly before moving the cookies to a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining dough. *Make sure to let the cookie sheet cool down or use a second sheet for optimal cookie baking/shaping.
7
*Step 7: Once the cookies are cool, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave at 20 second intervals, string frequently until smooth.
8
Add a dollop of chocolate to one cookie and spread gently. Top with a second cookie half. Chill to set the chocolate, store at room temperature.
