Base Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour This is the base of our cookies. Almond flour is low in carbs and gives a nice nutty flavor.
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened Cream cheese adds creaminess and helps keep the cookies soft and chewy.
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol This keto-friendly sweetener provides the sweetness without the carbs.
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened Butter adds richness and flavor to the cookies.
- 1 large egg The egg helps bind the ingredients together and adds moisture.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Vanilla enhances the overall flavor of the cookies.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder This helps the cookies rise and become fluffy.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors.
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional) For those who love a bit of chocolate, these chips add a delightful touch.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, and granulated erythritol. Using an electric mixer, beat these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
