Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour I used Einkorn
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tbsp dye free food coloring

Filling

  • ½ cups monk fruit powder sugar
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 Tbsp hot water
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and coconut sugar. Add in the egg and food coloring, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Shape the dough into balls, about 1 slightly heaping tablespoon each, and space them about 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Use your fingers (or the bottom of a glass) to gently flatten each dough ball.
  • Bake for 7–8 minutes, until the edges just begin to set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Filling

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together monk fruit powdered sugar, coconut oil, butter, water, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
  • Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. You can use a zip lock too and cut the tip off.
  • Turn half of the cookies over, bottoms facing up, and pipe about 1 tablespoon of filling onto each. Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.
  • Store the finished cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
