Directions
In a bowl, beat together coconut oil, coffee sugar and stevia together until light.
Add egg replacer, vanilla and ricotta, beating smooth.
Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until combined.
Roll half the dough between two sheets of waxed paper into a rectangle about ⅛” thick.
Mix the almond butter, caramel sauce, salt and almonds together and evenly spread half the mix over the cookie dough, leaving a 1” border on one long side.
Starting with the long side with the filling, carefully roll the dough into a cylinder. Roll in the waxed paper and then in foil*, place on a baking sheet and freeze at least 2 hours, or until needed.
Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
After dough has chilled, heat the oven to 350F and line cookie sheets with parchment.
Slice cookie log into ½” thick cookies and place 1″ apart on cookie sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Carefully transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool before enjoying.
