Frosted NO-Sugar Cookies

I got this recipe off the site posted at the bottom. Mine don't look nearly as pretty as hers and it did take me a little while this morning to make - but OH - MY they taste good. Not super sweet and the frosting really does taste like cream cheese - Surprise to me..
Try them and let me know what you think...

Ingredients:

1 c. Almond Flour
1/2 c. Coconut Flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/4 tsp. Sea Salt
1/2 c. Xylitol
3 Large Eggs, Room Temp
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/3 c. Coconut Oil, Melted

1 Recipe Almond Cream Cheese Frosting - for the tops

Directions:

In a medium bowl, sift together all dry ingredients. Set aside.
In a small bowl, scramble eggs, vanilla extract and coconut oil.
Add wet to dry and mix well with a spoon.
With your hands form dough into a large ball and chill for 30-45 minutes covered.
Roll out dough between two pieces of parchment paper and cut into desired shapes.
With a spatula, transfer cutouts onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake at 350º F for 12 minutes or until lightly brown.
Completely cool, then pipe with almond cream cheese frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting Directions:

Ingredients:
1 c. Raw Almonds
1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
1 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp. Organic Lemon Juice
1/3 - 1/2 c. Filtered Water + Water for Soaking & Blanching
(optional)
2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
stevia or xylitol to taste (I used 12 drops of Sweetleaf Vanilla stevia)

Directions:

1. Soak almonds in filtered water for 8 hours. Rinse and drain.
2. Blanch soaked almonds by pouring very hot boiling water on them and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
3. Remove the skins by pinching the almonds between your fingers.
4. In Vitamix or Food processor goes blanched almonds, 1/3 c. water, Celtic Sea Salt, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice.
5. Blend until smooth. Voilà almond cream cheese.
Mine came out like this - kind of like the consistency of Mashed potatoes.
I tried to pipe the cookies by putting the cream cheese in a baggie and cutting off the tip and squeezing it out - but alas - my ET's  - didn't work.


*Recipe Notes

If having difficulty getting almonds smooth, you can add additional water or you can add coconut oil.

Store cookies in freezer or refrigerator.

My batch made 23 - each cookie has: C/6 -S/.05 - F/2

  3. Also ... I meant to tell you that I tried your 2 Minute Muffin that you were kind enough to give me the recipe for. I used 2 Tablespoons of almond flour instead of one T of almond flour and I Tablespoon of coconut flour because I don't care for coconut flour. I also added a little maple extract. WOW!!!! It was SO good!! Thanks again for the recipe!

Some tips if you are having trouble

  • First make sure that you are staying under the 15/6. 15 sugars and 6 servings of carbs for the whole day. Thats no more than 5 sugars and 2 servings of carbs per meal.
  • Track all of your sugar/carbs. Add everything from your meal together and count them that way.
  • Try to stop eating whole grain carbs after 3pm.
  • Make sure you drink lots of water.
  • Count everything that you put into your mouth. Even sauces - everything , check labels.
  • Make sure that you don't eat any artificial sugars. Check labels, if it says sugar free - look in the ingredients, look for....sucralose, aspartame, saccharine in the ingredients. Those are BAD!
  • Going #2 is a big problem when a lot of people start the BFC. I have solved that problem with Clear Benefiber in my morning coffee and a scoop of Super Seed w/water in the afternoon. (you can buy the super seed on Amazon.com it is the cheapest).
  • Choose your carbs wisely. Try to pick the carbs that will give you the lowest count of carbs, sugar and calories and the most fiber.

I hope this helps.
