Ingredients
Chocolate Cloud Cookie:
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 whole egg
- 1 egg white
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon monk fruit sweetener drops
- 6 tablespoons almond flour
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons Swerve granular
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Keto Buttercream Frosting:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Swerve confectioners

Directions
1
To make the cookies:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2
In a medium bowl, add in softened cream cheese and use an electric hand mixer to beat until fluffy. Add in melted butter, 1 whole egg, 1 egg white, vanilla extract, and liquid sweetener monk fruit drops. Continue to mix over medium-heat speed for 90 seconds.
3
In a separate mixing bowl, add dry ingredients; almond flour, Swerve granular sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix until combined.
4
Add dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture. Mix with a hand mixer until a batter has formed. This will be a thick batter.
5
Drop a large tablespoon of batter on the baking sheet, making sure you have a round shape. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
6
To make the frosting:
While cookies are cooling, let's make the frosting. Add all frosting ingredients to a clean mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer for 1-2 minutes, until you have reached a creamy frosting texture.
7
To assemble the cookies:
Once cookies are completely cooled, take one cookie and turn upside down and add frosting with a knife or a piping bag to the middle, about 2 teaspoons. Add another cookie on top of the frosting, creating a sandwich look. Repeat until all cookies are made into sandwiches.
8
Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

I don’t have monk fruit sweetener drops is there something else I can use a substitute? 25.00 a bottle is a little pricey.

Should you refrigerate after assembly ?
Hi there! You can refrigerate if you’d like. If you do, they will be a bit firmer than storing on the counter. Hope that helps!
