This recipe comes to us from the lovely Kasey & Dylan over at Butter Together Kitchen. They love to bake amazing keto treats together. So romantic!
Add the almond flour, sweetener, vanilla extract, butter, and cream cheese to a mixing bowl and beat on high until a firm dough has formed.
Place the dough into the freezer to chill for 20-30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Take the chilled dough and roll it out, then use a cookie cutter to cut them out. You'll want to use a heart-shaped cookie cutter or something that really embodies Valentine's Day!
Place the cookies onto a parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until cooked through and starting to brown on the edges. Let the cookies cool.
Add the sugar free white chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl and heat at 30 second intervals until melted and well combined.
Now it's time to color your frosting. You can go many directions, but pink is always a good call. Mix a few drops of red food coloring into the chocolate chip mixture to create a nice pink color. If you want darker, add more and you can do a romantic red icing for Valentine's Day.
Dip half of each cookie into the cookie if you want to create a dipped effect. Otherwise, gently spread the keto white chocolate frosting mix onto the surface of each heart cookie. Place the cookies back onto the baking sheet and add sprinkles to the top.
Before serving your low carb Valentine's Day shortbread cookies, place them in the fridge the white chocolate has set. You'll want to let the white chocolate harden to create a shell of icing on the surface of the cookies.
