Keto Conversation Heart Cookies

yield: 24 SERVINGS

prep time: 1 HOUR 15 MINUTES

cook time: 7 MINUTES

total time: 1 HOUR 22 MINUTES

Ingredients

For the sugar cookies:

For the icing:

For the red buttercream frosting:

Directions

1

To make the keto sugar cookies:

In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream together butter, cream cheese, and Swerve granular until combined. Add in egg and extracts, mix on high until fluffy.

2

Add remaining dry ingredients into the bowl and mix on low making sure everything is mixed well.

3

Shape cookie dough into a large ball and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

4

Once the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle coconut flour over the surface and roll out the dough. If you do not have a smooth surface, you can roll out the dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper. You will want the dough to be 1/4" thick. Cut out dough with cookie cutters and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.

5

Bake in the oven for about 7-8 minutes or until the edges turn slightly golden brown. Remove cookie sheet from the oven. Do NOT remove cookies from the cookie sheet until they are completely cooled. This will take about 10-15 minutes.

6

For the icing:

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and the coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second increments until smooth, stirring the chips between each interval in the microwave. Pour the melted white chocolate into three small bowls and add a couple of drops of food coloring. Stir with a spoon until combined.

7

Spoon the white chocolate icing onto each cookie. Use the back of the spoon to spread around the edges.

8

For the red buttercream piping frosting:

Add the butter, desired keto powder sugar substitute, and vanilla to a medium bowl and cream together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add in a few drops of red food coloring until the desired color is achieved, and mix again until the color is mixed in well.

9

Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag with a skinny tip. Pipe the desired lettering onto the keto sugar cookies. Enjoy!

Consider baking your keto-loving Valentine some cute conversation heart cookies using low-carb ingredients! This sugar-filled holiday is normally focused on treats that are off-limits, but not today!

We have featured this yummy sugar cookie recipe in the past during Christmas, but today I’m using our keto sugar cookie dough as my base and then creating a simple melted white chocolate icing!

The last step to making these Valentines cookies will be whipping up a quick buttercream frosting. Then, pipe on fun lettering to complete the conversation heart vibes going on here!

Hooray for melted sugar-free white chocolate chips!

This simple white chocolate icing is made from melted keto white chocolate chips. This sugar-free icing takes these keto sugar cookies to the next level! I love how ChocZero white chocolate tastes so much like traditional chocolate chips, but is completely keto-friendly and sweetened with monk fruit!

When you melt these chips and add a little bit of food coloring, it becomes a super easy and genius way to top keto sugar cookies- yippee!

Tips for baking the best keto conversation heart cookies:

    • You’ll notice that your keto sugar cookie dough will be more fragile than traditional dough so be sure to refrigerate it well so it’s super cold. You’ll also want to use coconut flour to dust both the rolling surface and rolling pin. For even more non-stick power, line a baking sheet with parchment paper before laying out the cookies for baking.
    • Remember that the cookie dough is fragile, so be sure to let the cookies completely cool on the cookie sheet before moving them to a cooling rack. This is an important step so that your Valentine’s cookies don’t fall apart.
    • When melting the white chocolate chips, only microwave for 15 seconds at a time until just melted and smooth. I ruined a bag by microwaving for too long, so learn from my mistake. 😂
    • For the pastel-colored icing, I used the back of a spoon to spread the icing evenly on the conversation heart cookies. For the red lettering, you’ll want to have a pastry bag with a thin tip on hand.

These conversation heart cookies look similar to the popular Valentine’s candies, don’t they!?

My teammate Jenna also baked these keto sugar cookies and this is her reaction:

How fun are these?! What a cool recipe – I love how these turned out! These are so totally spot-on for sugar cookie flavor; you can’t even tell they are keto! I love that it uses a combination of almond and coconut flour, as well as almond and vanilla extract! It has that classic sugar cookie flavor and consistency.

For the frosting, the ChocZero chips melt easily and smoothly. The kids and I had a blast decorating the cookies with it. I couldn’t find the tiny tip for my pastry bag, so I cut off the corner tip of a sandwich bag instead and it worked great!
