This Will Definitely Make You Toss Your Cookies...
Doesn't that just scream "read me!"? When it comes to writing, there are two things I just completely blank on: naming/titling things and conclusions. When it comes time to work on either of those, it's like someone switched my brain to television static.
But that tid bit aside, here's the second post of Christmas Cookies that I promised you! This one isn't really a cookie, much like the fudge, but it goes well on the platter with the rest of the cookies! In fact, it will be on my cookie platter tomorrow at my first Christmas celebration of the season, along with all the other cookie recipes you've seen (so, two others. I make it sound like there's oh so many...)
Tonight I've got a recipe for Low Carb Peppermint Protein Patties. These are definitely not an every day thing as they have a butt ton of sugar alcohol in them. You can change this by making it with stevia instead of erythritol, I just used what I had on hand. If you make this switch, you'll have to mess with the ratios a bit since every sweetener is different in relative sweetness. Because of the sugar alcohol, you should only eat one or two of these. Sugar alcohol is indigestible, which is why it's not counted as a "net carb" and most people's tummies don't respond well to it. Also, at 16 grams of carbs per piece, you can easily go over your daily macros if you have more than a couple.
*You can remove the protein powder from this if you don't like it, but it will dramatically alter the consistency of the patty mixture and will make it difficult to make into dippable pieces.

Low Carb Peppermint Protein Patties
- 8 oz Neufchatel Cheese, room temp
- 1 tsp Peppermint Extract
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 scoops Unflavored Protien Powder
- 3/4 cup Swerve Confectioners
- 4 ozs Lily's Stevia Sweetened Dark Chocolate Chips
- Add first five ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Using hand mixer or stand mixer, mix until thoroughly combined and smooth or approximately 1 minute. Scrape down your bowl and set in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, take mixture out of the fridge and measure out 1 tablespoon balls. Using lightly greased hands, make each ball into a little patty shape. You don't have to do this part. You can leave them in whatever shape you prefer, just make sure you lay them out in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Make a double boiler using the method described in the previous cookie post, adding chocolate chips to the bowl. Turn on heat and continuously stir the chocolate until it's fully melted.
- Remove patties from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each patty in the melted chocolate and set back on the parchment to cool and harden. After all patties are done, you can place this in the fridge for another hour to firm everything up.
