Add the Keto Chow, cocoa powder, and baking soda and mix well.

Use a #40 ice cream scoop or Tbsp. to form 15 cookies and place them onto the prepared trays.
Gently flatten the cookies with the bottom of a glass or the flats of your fingers until they are about half an inch thick.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies look set.
Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. When they are completely cool, make the icing.
Place the powdered erythritol in a medium mixing bowl and add the heavy cream one Tbsp. at a time, mixing until it has a smooth, spreadable consistency with no lumps.
Stir in the cherry extract. Add the pink food coloring, if using, a drop at a time, stirring after each addition until it reaches the desired color.
Spread icing on each cookie and decorate with sprinkles or mini chocolate chips if desired.
