Keto Chocolate Sandwich Cookies are a low-carb and indulgent dessert. These cookies contain a crispy chocolate shell, which is prepared with cocoa powder and almond flour, along with a filling of cream cheese, vanilla, and butter. These cookies are good for satisfying the cravings of chocolate while staying within the carb limit. These sandwich cookies are prepared easily and only require a few simple ingredients that might even be present in our home pantry. These Keto Chocolate Sandwich Cookies contain dairy, so they are not suitable for dairy-intolerant people, and utilize dairy-free products to make them dairy-free. These sandwich cookies store well, so we can make a big batch to use later.
