Golden Keto Sandwich Cookies

Add the butter, powdered erythritol and vanilla extract to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until you get a pale and fluffy mass.
 

Fold in the almond flour until you get a smooth dough.

☝︎ If your dough seems to be too soft to roll out right away, you may want to wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in your fridge for about 30 minutes before continuing to the next step.
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C.
 

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out until it’s about 0.2″/5mm thick.
Use a 2"/5cm circle-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.

Repeat this process until no dough is left.
 

Carefully place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

☝︎ The dough tends to fall apart rather easily, that's why using a large knife or a cake lifter can be of big help to transfer the cookies onto the baking tray without breaking them.
 

Bake the cookies for about 7-8 minutes in your preheated oven.

☝︎ Every oven is different, that’s why the baking time in your oven might vary a bit from ours.

Keep an eye on the cookies, as almond flour tends to burn a bit faster than regular all-purpose wheat flour.
 

Let the cookies cool down completely while you continue with the next step.
 

Prepare the vanilla buttercream while the cookies cool down.

Add the vanilla pulp and the other ingredients for the buttercream into a large bowl and beat them with a hand mixer until the butter is pale and fluffy.
 

Once the cookies are cold, you can fill them with the vanilla buttercream.

To do this, take one cookie and place approx. 1.5-2 tsp of the buttercream on it.
Take a second cookie and place it on top of the buttercream.

Press the second cookie down, until the buttercream is spread evenly between the cookies.

Repeat this step with the remaining cookies, until you have no cookies and buttercream left.
