A recipe that has been five years in the making! I have learned so much in the last five years, have attempted to figure out this recipe many times, and have finally nailed it! They are a very low carb cookie at only 1g net Carbs for five Oreos. They are crunchy, tender, moist, and absolutely delicious - especially dipped in milk like their namesake!

I have figured out a great combo using unflavored whey protein isolate and coconut flour to make super low carb baked goods and now I can even use this process to make crispy cookies. If you want a dairy free version, here is my thin mint cookie recipe that would work well by just swapping out the peppermint extract for vanilla- https://www.ketoupgrade.info/post/keto-girl-scout-thin-mint-cookies
I chose granular erythritol/monkfruit for this cookie because, when it melts in the cooking process it then becomes crispy when cooled. Using Allulose would make the cookie too soft. I'm sure Stevia would work as well but the rest of the ingredients would need to be adjusted in order to get the crispiness needed for an Oreo cookie.
For the filling, I adapted my peppermint patty recipe since it is a mint flavored stiff buttercream. I had to cut back on the erythritol to minimize the cooling effect and enhance the taste of vanilla. There are many options available for the filling, but for this recipe I went with what I knew would work. I tried many combinations that didn't work or taste the way I wanted. I think with this recipe, I got as close to an Oreo as I could and, of course, it tastes delicious.
I used some specialized equipment for this recipe because I had to make them look perfect. This recipe makes a lot cookies and I would make them often - if I had the time!

Crispy Chocolate Cookie Recipe
198g/7oz./14 Tbs. Soften Salted Butter
48g/1/4 Cup Golden 1:1 Erythritol
96g/1/2 Cup Granular 1:1 Erythritol
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
22g/3 Tbs. Packed Black Cocoa Powder
12g/2 Tbs. Cocoa Powder (Dutch Processed works as well)
90/1 Cup+2 Tbs. Unflavored Whey Protein Isolate
30g/1/3 Cup Packed Coconut Flour (at least that's how Great Value Measures)
1/4 tsp. Xanthan Gum
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt (Extra 1/2 tsp. if using unsalted butter)
Filling:
84g/7 Tbs. Palm Shortening
60g/3 Tbs. Keto Corn Syrup- https://www.ketoupgrade.info/post/keto-corn-syrup-substitute
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
50g/1/4 Cup +2 Tbs. Powdered Sweetener
1/4 tsp. Salt
29g/1 Scoop Whey Protein Isolate (Optional)
1/2 tsp. Powdered Stevia (Optional, to taste)
Instructions:
Place the butter and sweetener in a stand mixer bowl or medium bowl for a hand mixer
If the butter is not softened, you can place it in a warm area like on a preheating stove or you can also soften in the microwave at 10 second intervals on 50% power
Using a paddle attachment or hand mixer, beat the butter and sweetener until fluffy scraping down the sides several times
If using a stand mixer, you can use this time to measure, sift, and whisk the dry ingredients together, have ready a 4cm/1&1/2in. round cutter, a rolling pin with 1/6in/4mm bands, 3 half sheet pans with 4 pieces of parchment paper and, a fun cookie stamp - if using
Once the butter and sugar are fluffy, add in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, mix and scrap down the sides, then add the dry ingredients all at once and beat until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed until there are no butter pockets remaining
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Split dough into 2 equal portions and roll the first out to 1/6th inch thickness between two pieces of parchment paper, cut 4cm/1.6in circles into the dough and the transfer the flatten dough onto a sheet tray and place it in the freezer and repeat with the second half of the dough
Once the second tray is done and in the freezer, pull out the first tray and place all the circles onto a half sheet tray lined with parchment paper, 35 cookies per tray in 7 rows, 5 cookies per row, then place the tray back into the freezer and repeat with a second tray and the second half of dough
Once that second tray is full and in the freezer, bake the first tray for 6-9 minutes, once baked immediately stamp the cookies if using the stamp then let cool completely before touching
Repeat this process until all the dough is used, baked and stamped. You should get about 3 full trays plus a pan with 5, when all cookies are baked . Begin making the filling
Beat the palm shortening and corn syrup until combined, add the vanilla extract and beat, add the rest of the ingredients and mix slightly then beat until well combined, turn out onto parchment paper
Place a sheet of parchment paper on top and roll out between the 2 sheets to 4mm/1/6in thickness and freeze until solid, while freezing flip half the cookies over to get them ready to place on the filling
Once the filling is frozen cut out 4cm/1.6in rounds, if the rounds come off the parchment easily they are ready to be places on the bottom cookies, once the filling becomes tacky, place another cookie on top and press gently.
Store in a ziplock bag on the counter for 2 weeks or in the fridge for 3 months
