Crimson Rider Sandwich Cookie

This cookie recipe came from a mistake. I ran out of soy milk while making my daily chocolate shakes. I had enough to make a paste out of cocoa, soy milk, almond butter, avocado, and Stevia. I tried to put the paste onto an almond flour pancake but the cake wasn’t very good. Then, I decided to try an almond cookie. I found a recipe that uses maple syrup for the sweetness. That may sound deadly to my fellow Type 2ers but there is only a very small amount and each cookie is only 12 carbs. So, enjoy! Let me know if you develop any variations!
