Keto Cannoli Cookies

I LOVE cannoli.

I have not had a cannoli since I started eating Keto, so I thought I would try these Cannoli Cookies!

They are sooooo good!  They are very delicate and chewy, not crisp so you need to handle them carefully.

I made them with pork rind flour so they are nut free, but not dairy free – yummy!

You definitely need to try them!
