How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 F. Blend all the dry ingredients, including the almond flour, cacao powder, sea salt, baking soda, and ¾ cup powdered sweetener, in a medium-sized mixing bowl using a whisk to combine.
Step 2
To the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 12 tbsp room temperature butter, the eggs, and vanilla extract. The mixture will not be smooth.
Step 3
Add the dry ingredients and cream the mixture until well blended and fluffy for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides at least once.
Step 4
Use a 1 oz cookie scoop to portion the chocolate cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure to leave room for the cookies to spread. Do not flatten the cookies before baking. The height will allow them to stay puffed.
Step 5
Bake for 10 minutes or until puffed and set. Allow the cookies to cool completely before filling them with the buttercream. Repeat with the remaining batter on a separate baking sheet.
Step 6
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine two sticks of room temperature butter with 2 cups powdered sweetener. Mix for 5-7 minutes, scraping the bowl down a couple of times until the buttercream has lightened and tripled in size.
Step 7
Fill a large piping tip fitted with a #825 Wilton tip with the buttercream. Pipe the buttercream in a swirl pattern on the cookie’s bottom, flat side to fill the entire surface. Top with another chocolate cookie with the flat side touching the buttercream. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
