Oreos

Adapted from Maria's Food and Nutrition

Ingredients:


Cookies:
1/2 cup vanilla whey protein (Jay Robb or About Time)
3/4 cup almond flour
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons xylitol
2 tablespoons water

Filling:
8 oz cream cheese
2 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk
3/4 cup xylitol

Preparation:


Cookies:
1.  Preheat oven to 350 F
2.  In a medium bowl, combine protein, almond flour, baking soda, and cocoa powder.
3.  Cut in the cold butter using your fingers until the lumps are smaller than peas.
4.  Add in water and xylitol
5.  On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, place 1 inch diameter balls of dough, and then flatten them into circles.  Make sure the balls are tiny!  You don't want to end up with 5 giant oreos.  You should end up with about 32 individual cookies.
6.  Bake for 10-12 minutes.  Let cool in the oven so they will become crispy.

Filling:
1.  Don't soften the cream cheese.
2.  Beat all ingredients together with an electric mixer until smooth.
