Red velvet cake, but make it a Gluten-Free Red Velvet Cookie Sandwich with Cream Cheese Filling. You can’t have red velvet without a decadent cream cheese frosting, and my homemade version is so simple and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon red food coloring
  • 2 cups finely ground blanched almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Filling Ingredients

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup confectioners sugar

Instructions

To make cookies:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper
  2. Whisk together egg, maple syrup, butter, vanilla extract and red food coloring drops
  3. In a separate large bowl combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and combine
  4. Refrigerate dough for 20-30 minutes (so it’s easier to work with)
  5. Roll dough into 16 balls and flatten slightly. Place on baking sheet
  6. Bake for 8-9 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack and let cool completely

To make frosting filling:

  1. Use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and butter until fully combined
  2. Add powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time, and continue beating until smooth and creamy

To assemble cookie sandwiches:

  1. Spread 1-2 tablespoons filling on a cooled cookie, then top with another cookie
  2. Enjoy immediately and keep stored in the refrigerator
