Using my hand mixer, works really great, for a lot of my low carb baking recipes! This makes, these recipes quick and easy to start! The dough whips up pretty quickly, and I like to multi task and make the frosting while the dough is refrigerating.

My mixing bowls, definitely come in handy for this part. Since, I have multiple sizes. Then, I was able to use one of my kid’s baby spoons, because it made for the perfect clover petal.

I just baked the cookies on my awesome baking sheets, and allowed them plenty of cooling time on my cooling rack. You definitely want to give them time to cool, so the frosting sticks nicely!

You can use a zip lock bag and bite the tip, to pipe the frosting, or you can use a cheap piping bag. You can also, keep it plain and just skip the frosting all together. These cookies still taste delicious, even without the frosting!
