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.
xo,
Jamie
