Who doesn’t love separating the Oreo’s and dipping them in milk? It is something that warms your heart to feel like a child again as you sit at the kitchen table and enjoy cookies and milk. So try this helthy version instead of the scary trans-fats and high fructose corn syrup in real Oreo’s.
Ingredients
Cookies
- 2 1/4 cups almond or hazelnut flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Swerve Sweetener
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream Filling
- 4 oz. cream cheese – softened
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered Swerve (you can grind granulated Swerve in a spice grinder)
Method:
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl mix together the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the Swerve and butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add egg and vanilla, mix until fully combined.
- Add dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Roll out dough between two sheets of waxed paper to a rectangle about 1/8 of an inch thick. Using a circle cutter, cut out as many cookies as you can. Place them onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Re-roll out cookie dough until you run out!
- Bake cookies for 12 minutes. Let cool completely before filling.
To make filling:
- Using a food processor, cream together cream cheese, and butter.

What’s the nutritional info?
The ENTIRE batch had about 34 net carbs. So the individual cookies are less than 1 net carb each!
What about the calories and fat etc…
I got 113 a cookie and 1.6 net carbs. It made 27 cookies when I made it.
Have you tried freezing these with any luck?
I have and they turn out great still! Might take a minute to dethaw though, we don’t want any chipped teeth.
Do these need to be refrigerated due to the cream cheese?
I found that these cookies were a bit dry, the cream filling was on the spot but i wish the cookie itself would’ve been more moist and tasted more like chocolate. The granulated Swerve for me tends to not cream well and leaves a gritty consistancy.
Any granulated sugar whether Swerve or Monk Fruit sugar, I always run through my food processor after purchase. That way, it is never granular.
I made these but I cut the swerve measurement down to 1/4 cup which works great! I loved these and had my non-keto friends and family try them and they all are requesting more! Thanks so much for a great recipe! 🙂
Are there any substitutes for xantham gum?
Love the receipe but would like to print it off and ftry it but dorsnt seem anyway 8 can as phone would close down too often.
