You know I am always trying to find ways to make some “cheat treats” in a healthy version. Well this “cookie” is no exception and SO EASY.

Yes this it’s a burger patty, and yes we are going to put frosting on it. Just try it, then tell me what you think…

Burger Ingredients:

• 1-2lbs grass fed, grass finished ground beef (2lbs if you want to make extra which I suggest you do)

• 2-3 tbsp salt to flavor the beef (I use Maldon)

Frosting Ingredients:

• 2 sticks salted grass fed butter at room temp (I like Kerrygold or Kirkland from Costco)

• 1/3 or 1/2 cup organic maple syrup (measure to desired sweetness)

• 2 tsp organic vanilla extract

• 1-2 tsp monkfruit powder (optional)

How to make the cookies:

• Mix ground beef and salt in a bowl

• Using parchment paper, portion out small palm size burgers in your hand and press onto the parchment paper to flatten. You want them thinner than a regular burger.

• Preheat a stainless steel pan over med/high heat. Use the water test to make sure the pan is heated enough and the burgers won’t stick.

• Cook burger patties on each side for 5-6 mins. They should get a little crust.

• Once burgers are done, set aside to cool. You can also place them in the fridge to cool faster.

• While your burgers are cooking, start your frosting.

• Using a food processor (or you can mix by hand or use any mixer handy), add the butter, maple syrup, vanilla and optional monkfruit.

• Blend until combined and taste test as you go and add more maple or monkfruit if desired.

Assemble:

• Take the cooled burger patty and spread the buttercream frosting (as much as you want) on top.

• You are welcome.
