#1 Cookie Shot Glasses
1 batch of low-carb cookie dough (sugar cookies, gingerbread, oreo, chocolate chip, peanutbutter) [SUB 1/8 of the almond flour FOR EXTRA POWDERED SWEETENER in whichever recipe you pick, this will ensure that the cookie shot glass has a stronger structure and is less likely to break when you remove it from the mold]
Fill the moulds with cookie dough, being careful not to over-fill them or pack them too densely.
Bake at 20 degrees C lower than directions given, for twice the time.
Freeze for 4 hours or overnight before removing from the moulds (carefully).
Coat the inside of the cookie glass with a thin layer of chocolate as a water-proofing coat to ensure the cup will not dissolve or turn to mush while you are drinking from it.
Nutrition info depends on the cookie dough you choose, the amount of chocolate used, and the size of your mould.
