Ingredients
  

RED VELVET COOKIES:

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

  • 1/4   cup Natural Sweetener or allulose
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon stevia glycerite
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract or more vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon Redmond Real salt

GARNISH:

  • Fresh Raspberries if desired (or strawberries)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray well with avocado oil spray. Set aside.
  • In a large clean bowl, whip egg whites with a pinch of salt and the cream of tartar until foamy (save the yolks for "healthified" creme brule, "healthified" coconut custard, OR "healthified" ice cream).
  • Mix on high speed until very stiff (you will be able to put bowl upside down and the whites won't fall out).
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, sift the sweetener and collagen together and set aside.
  • Once the whites are stiff, gently fold in the cocoa mixture. Add your favorite extract flavor. Stir to combine.
  • Use a small ice cream scooper to place 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Place each cookie about 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough. You will get about 48 cookies.
  • Use the back of a greased spoon or your thumb to make divots in the middle of each cookie.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from baking sheet and allow to cool.
  • To make the frosting. Using a hand mixer, beat the sweetener, butter, softened cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl until smooth. Add the extracts, lemon juice and salt; beat until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking.
  • Place the frosting into each divot in the cookies.
  • Top with a raspberry on each cookie if desired.
