LILY'S Birthday Cake White Chocolate Style Bar or LILY'S Cookies and Creme White Chocolate Style Bars to decorate
Directions
Equipment Needed
oven
parchment paper
bowl
microwave
cooling rack
1
Heat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Soften the butter then beat with vanilla and sweetener until smooth. Add egg and beat until just combined.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum, and psyllium husk. Add to the wet mixture and stir with a spatula until a sticky dough forms. Work the dough into a ball and tightly wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
4
Once chilled, roll the dough between two pieces of plastic wrap to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut the cookies, then cut out the center with the end of a piping tip or another tiny round object. Place the donuts and holes on the baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
5
Chill for an additional 5-10 minutes before baking to prevent spreading!
6
Bake for 10-13 minutes watching very carefully to remove right as the edges begin to brown. For the softest cookie, you don't want to bake too long!
7
Let cool completely before decorating.
8
To decorate: melt your chocolate bar in 15-second intervals in the microwave, gently stirring each time.
9
Dip the cookies face down in the chocolate and shake off excess. Using a spoon, ladle more chocolate over the cookies and add sprinkles if desired. Repeat with donut holes.
