Instructions: For the cookies

  1. Combine coconut flour, almond flour, salt and xanthium gum in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Beat the butter and swerve on medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture and continue mixing until fully combined and a stiff dough has formed.
  3. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and flatten into a to a disk. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Roll out dough on a lightly coconut-floured surface to about ¼ -inch thickness. Cut out egg shapes with a cookie cutter. Collect and reroll scraps as necessary. Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets.
  5. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until cookies are set. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

For the decoration:

  1. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt the white wafers over a double boiler or in a microwave on low power, stirring every 15 to 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Divide the chocolate into 3 bowls. Leave one white, then add purple coloring to one and pink coloring to the other. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Dip the top of each cookie into the various colors to frost, then place on prepared baking sheets. Transfer the remaining-colored chocolate coatings to their own piping bags (reheat before transferring if necessary) and decorate on top of cookies.
  3. Transfer to refrigerator until chocolate is set and enjoy!

**To color melting wafers, you must use an-oil based food or candy coloring. Adding liquid or gel food coloring may cause the candy coating to seize.
