Keto Chocolate Kiss Cookies

WHO SAYS you can't have yummy treats on a Keto Diet or Candida Detox??? These bite size treats are the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth without cheating on your detox!!! They are sugar-free, grain-free and full of protein and good fats.

For the cookies:
3/4 cup almond butter, smooth 
1 egg
1/2 cup  Swerve, granulated
1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
1 cup  almond flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 pinch pink Himalayan sea salt

For the filling:
1/2 cup Lily's  chocolate chips
1/4 cup smooth almond butter
1/2 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract

Cookies:
Preheat  oven to 350 F and line a 24 cup mini muffin pan with liners or grease with coconut oil.

In a large bowl, beat together egg, almond butter, Swerve and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda and salt. Stir into the wet ingredients until fully combined. The dough will be thick and  greasy. Press the dough into evenly-sized balls and place in the mini muffin cups. Then use the back of a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon to make a dent in the center.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until just set. 

Make the "kiss":
While the cookies bake, melt the chocolate chips and almond butter in a double boiler until JUST melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla once melted.  Wait until the filling cools enough that it's the consistency of thick frosting. Then spoon the chocolate into a Ziploc bag and cut the corner off. Squeeze a small amount into each cookie to form a "kiss". 

Cool in fridge until the chocolate firms up. Best served at room temperature

Enjoy!
