These are yummy sandwich cookies with a creamy coconut filling. Low carb, gluten free goodness! And my favourite sugar substitute erythritol again. You CAN eat delicious cookies without fear of the scales the next morning or a sudden sugar rush!
I like the filling as it reinforces my love of coconut and all that is good with it! I am using xanthan gum here for a binding agent. I sometimes use this in my pastry recipes and purchase this from my local organic health store. For the ground erythritol I simply process granulated erythritol in a blender until it looks like icing sugar. I may play around with these cookies too…am thinking something ginger with either a lemon or lime filling…mmmm..
