Ingredients
  

For the cookies:

  • cup grass-fed butter softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup erythritol sweetener
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 egg white at room temperature
  • 1 t vanilla extract
  • Zest from 1 orange
  • cups finely ground almond flour
  • ¼ t xanthan gum
  • t sea salt

For the filling:

  • oz unsweetened dark chocolate
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2-3 drops orange extract

Instructions
 

Make the cookies:

  • In a large bowl, add the butter and erythritol sweetener. With an electric mixer, beat the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, until fluffy. Add the egg, egg white, vanilla, and orange zest, and whisk well. Beat in the almond flour, xanthan gum, and sea salt, at low speed.
  • The dough will be sticky. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Place the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper. With a rolling pin, roll the dough about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick. With a 2-inch oval or round cookie cutter, cut the cookies.
  • Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, until the cookies are slightly brown around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely

Make the filling:

  • In the top of a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate. Transfer the melted chocolate to a bowl.
  • Add the heavy cream and orange extract and whisk until combined.
  • Spread the filling over 1 cookie. Top with another cookie to make a cookie sandwich. Repeat with all the remaining cookies and filling. Let sit for the filling to cool completely before serving.
