Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
- 1.5 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 4 ounces full fat cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cream the Wet Ingredients: If using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the egg one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. If using a blender, combine all wet ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Add Vanilla: After the eggs and cream cheese are combined, mix in the vanilla extract. Set this mixture aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least one hour to allow it to firm up.
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking while the dough chills.
- Form Cookies and Bake: Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Using a cookie scoop, portion out 11 cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Do not flatten the dough balls as they will spread slightly during baking. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes to set completely. For an optional garnish, dust with powdered sweetener before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
- Refrigerating the dough is essential for the cookies to hold their shape during baking.
- You can substitute granulated sweetener with erythritol or monk fruit sweetener to keep it keto-friendly.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts before refrigerating.
