Method

1

Start by preheating your oven to 190°c or gas mark 5. Line two large trays with baking paper or silicon mats

2

Add the dairy-free spread, Carb Killa® spread and coconut sugar into a large mixing bowl and beat everything together until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can use an electric mixer – we’d recommend this if using margarine straight from the fridge or, if mixing by hand, allow time for the margarine to soften before trying to mix

3

Next, gently mix in the flour and Hydra 6® protein powder until the mixture turns into a ‘soft dough’

4

Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to around ½ cm thick. Sprinkle the top with a little flour to avoid sticking to the rolling pin

5

Using a circle cookie cutter (roughly 6cm wide), cut circle shapes from the rolled out dough. Use a smaller heart shaped cutter to cut a heart shaped hole into the centre of your dough circles

6

After this, carefully place your shapes onto the lined baking trays. Re-roll and cut the dough until it is all used up

7

Bake the cookies for 15 minutes then leave to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely

8

Once cooled, spread half of the cookies with Carb Killa® Hazel Nutter spread and then top each with another cookie

9

To finish, lightly dust with icing sugar
