I waited a couple years of being on plan with Trim Healthy Mama
Yes, I know stress eating is a horrible thing but it can be really difficult to overcome. Have faith mama you CAN overcome it.
Mind you these chocolate shortbread cookies can add up quickly because of the almond flour so make sure you are only indulging in 1 or two with a trimmy light that way you aren’t over doing the fat in this snack.
I love this neat sandwich cookie pan I picked up from Amazon.

The instructions say to mix in an egg, but there is no egg in the ingredients list. I did not add one since shortbread doesn’t typically have egg, but alternate flours can be different. They are pretty crumbly while fresh, but not too dry. Again this is pretty typical with shortbread. I did use coffee flour instead of oat fiber and coffee extract. I had it but had been afraid to use it as I heard it was very dry and so it seemed the perfect sub for oat fiber. I did use the Super Sweet, which isn’t my favorite because it has significant aftertaste to me, but I was, yes, too lazy to recalculate for either xylitol or gentle sweet. The dough wasn’t very sweet so I sprinkled xylitol on top before smushing the dough balls. That seems to have helped.
