Keto Cocoa Cookies

Pittsburgh weddings often have a "cookie table" to pay homage to Eastern European tradition. My keto-loving friends recently wed, and I made a batch of these simple low-carb treats to celebrate :)

Keto Cocoa Cookies 

Cookies:
1 ¼ cup almond butter
2 large eggs
2/3 cup cocoa powder
2-3 tsps stevia
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ cup raw cacao nibs (optional)

Frosting:
½ cup almond butter
¼ cup coconut cream
2 tsps stevia

1. Blend all ingredients in blender until thick paste forms.
2. Scoop out paste and hand roll into balls.
3. Place balls on baking sheet and flatten with fork, criss cross style.
4. Bake at 300 degrees F for 10-12 minutes.
5. While cookies bake, make frosting: combine all ingredients in bowl and mix with hang mixer until combined.
6. Once cookies have baked and cooled, garnish with frosting. Add a sprinkle of sea salt if desired.
7. Enjoy!
