Red Velvet Thumbprint Cookies - Low Carb Way Of Life

Ingredients:

8 oz Cream cheese room temperature
1/2 cup Butter, unsalted room temperature
1/2 cup Erythritol or low carb sweetener
1/2 cup Coconut flour
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 tablespoons Cocoa powder unsweetened
3-4 drops Red food coloring

Filling
4 oz Cream cheese softened
2 oz Butter softened
1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
3 tablespoons Cream whipping/heavy

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.

Blend the butter and cream cheese together. Add the erythritol and continue to blend. Add the vanilla, coconut flour, cocoa and food coloring. Blend until combined.

Roll walnut sized balls of the dough. It helps to wet your hands first to do this.

Place the balls onto a parchment paper lined tray. With a damp finger, poke holes in the dough.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool.

Filling:
Blend all the filling ingredients together. A hand-held blender will make the smoothest result. Pipe the mixture into the center of the cookie.
