Bake for 10-11 minutes until the bottom of the cookies are just beginning to brown. Be sure not to overbake the cookies, they should be soft and cake-like. Cool cookies on pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely. While the cookies are cooling, make the icing. Place chocolate chips, corn syrup, vanilla and cream in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until chocolate begins to melt. Stir mixture until smooth.

• To Make The Cookies: Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, salt, vanilla, and baking powder. Beat in the Lakanto sweetener, then the egg. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, lupin flour, and gelatin. Alternate mixing the dry ingredients and the almond milk in with the wet ingredients, until just combined.. Use a cookie scoop to scoop cookies onto the cookie sheet. Use a wet hand to flatten the cookies to about 1/2" thick. Leave 2" between cookies for expansion. Bake at 400 for 10-11 minutes, until the JUST start to brown. The cookies are supposed to be soft and cake-like, so take them out at the very first sign of browning on the bottom. To Make The Fudge Dip: After the cookies have cooled, add the heavy cream, chocolate chips, and Lakanto sweetener to a glass microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, then remove from the microwave and whisk to melt the rest of the chocolate chips until the fudge is smooth. Dip the top and side of each cooled cookie in the warm fudge, then set on a wire rack to cool and harden. To Make the Mascarpone Fudge Icing While the excess fudge from dipping is still warm, add it to a large mixing bowl with 8oz of Mascarpone cheese. Whip until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Scrape the icing into a large pastry bag with a wide tip on it, and layer on the cookies in large piles of fudgey icing. Enjoy!

BERGER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
• Beat butter, salt, vanilla, and baking powder until smooth. Add sugar and beat until creamy. Beat in the egg.
• Add the flour alternately with the milk in 2-3 additions, mixing between each addition just until combined. Do not overmix.
• Use a small cookie scoop to drop about 1 tablespoon of dough onto the parchment paper for each cookie, spacing them 2-3 inches apart so they have room to spread when they bake. Wet your fingers or the bottom of a glass and gently press each cookie to flatten slightly into a circle roughly 1 1/2" in diameter.
• Bake for 9-11 minutes. The cookies are done when they are lightly browned on the bottom but still pale on top, with only the slightest bit of browning around the edges. Don't overbake.
• Make the icing while the cookies cool by heating the chocolate chips, corn syrup, and cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl for 60-90 seconds, stopping every 20 seconds to stir until completely melted. Add the vanilla, powdered sugar, and salt. Beat well using a hand mixer until smooth. Let the icing cool slightly before decorating the cookies. If it is too warm, it will run off the cookies.
• Dip the bottoms of each cookie into the warm icing then place them upside down on the baking sheet and top each cookie with more chocolate icing until it is all used up. It will be a lot of chocolate on each cookie, but it's delicious!
• Let the cookies sit out at room temperature until the icing has set, then transfer the cookies to an airtight container and store on the counter at room temperature for 3-4 days.
• These cookies can also be frozen for 2-3 months. Just thaw on the counter before enjoying.

HAMBURGER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• In a bowl, combine food coloring with a few drops of water. Add coconut and cover the container, shake until coconut is tinted. Set aside.
• Place 1/2 of the vanilla wafers, flat side up, in an ungreased cookie sheet. Top each wafer with a peppermint patty. Place in the oven about 1 minute or just until chocolate begins to soften.
• Remove cookies from oven and sprinkle each mint with 1/2 teaspoon coconut (for lettuce). Place another vanilla wafer on top and press gentle. With a clean paint brush, brush the top of each hamburger with just enough water to moisten so that the sesame seeds will stick when sprinkled on top of each cookie. NOTE: You can use canned chocolate frosting in place of peppermint patty, then eliminate the baking.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Position oven racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Beat butter, vanilla, baking powder, and salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until creamy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in sugar on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add egg; beat on low until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Alternately add flour and milk on low speed, beginning and ending with flour, until just combined.
• Drop slightly rounded tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Roll dough with floured hands into balls, then gently flatten each ball to a 1 1/2-inch wide circle.
• Bake in the preheated oven, rotating pans halfway through, until golden brown on bottoms, about 10 minutes. Place pans on wire racks; let cool completely on pans, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring 1 inch of water in a small saucepan to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium. Place chocolate chips, cream, corn syrup, and vanilla for icing in a medium, heat-proof bowl; place bowl over simmering water in the saucepan; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture is combined, about 5 minutes. Remove bowl from heat; whisk in 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and salt until smooth and thickened, 2 minutes.
• Dip the flat side of each cookie into the warm icing; return to the baking sheet, chocolate-side up. Let cookies and chocolate cool slightly, uncovered, to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Spread remaining icing evenly over chocolate-dipped cookie tops (about 1 tablespoon each). Let sit at room temperature, until icing is completely set, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
