This Chocolate Heart Cookie Recipe comes just in time for Valentine’s Day. While we celebrate our friends, family, and the people we love most, it’s hard to escape the sugar-y madness of this love-filled holiday. From candy hearts to overindulgent cupcakes, those of us battling blood sugar issues know that finding a low-sugar sweet treat that also tastes good can be a challenge.
That’s why we’ve worked hard to craft a low net-carb cookie that is packed with fiber, so you can feel good about making and enjoying cookies this Valentine’s Day. Starting with a healthy base of coconut oil, we pair almond and coconut flours with Supergut powder and allulose to deliver a delicious cookie taste — with a nice chewy texture — without the high-sugar guilt.
