Chocolate Nut Butter Sandwich Cookies Low Carb-
Chocolate Nut Butter Sandwich Cookies Low Carb is grain-free with paleo and nut-free options.
These Chocolate Nut Butter Sandwich cookies will remind you of “Nutter Butter” cookies, only healthier and yummier with the addition of chocolate filling.
A grain-free, gluten-free, paleo, and low carb sandwich cookie filled with nut butter and melted chocolate. My kids and I were all over these tasty cookies!
They even have a nut-free version, if you use sunflower seed butter to replace the nut butter.
First: I baked the simple nut butter cookies & cooled them completely. Then I turned them over (flat side up).
Second: I melted some chocolate chips, cooled them, and spread on half the cookies.
Third: I spread refrigerated nut butter or sunflower seed butter on the other half of the cookies.
Last: I sandwiched the halves together.

Chocolate Nut Butter Sandwich Cookies Low Carb
Cookie Ingredients:
- ¾ cup nut butter of choice: almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or peanut butter
- ⅔ cup sweetener of choice: erythritol for low carb (I used Swerve sweetener), or coconut sugar for paleo
- 5 tbsp butter, softened *not melted
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
Sandwich Filling Ingredients:
- ¼ cup chocolate chips: sugar free chips for low carb (I used Lillys), or use Enjoy Life Chips for paleo version.
- ¼ cup nut butter of choice: almond butter, sunflower seed butter or peanut butter, refrigerated
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 F, and line or grease a baking sheet.
- Using a stand mixer, or electric hand mixer & large mixing bowl combine: butter, nut butter of choice and sweetener of choice. Mix until creamy.
- Add egg and coconut flour. Mix until smooth, scraping the sides with a rubber scraper.
- Spoon rounded small ½ tablespoon onto the cookies sheet. I rolled mine into balls and then pressed down a lightly to flatten a bit with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until browned. Remove from oven and cool completely, as they will be too soft to remove until cooled.
- While cookies are cooling, place the ¼ cup nut butter in the fridge.
