These keto cream cheese cookies are soft, buttery, and perfectly sweetened without any added sugar. Made with almond and coconut flour, they’re a delicious low-carb treat that’s easy to prepare and sure to satisfy your cookie cravings.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
• 1.5 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sweetener
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces full fat cream cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Step 1: If using a hand mixer, cream the cream cheese and then add the egg, mixing one at a time before moving to the next step. If using a blender, combine all the wet ingredients and blend until smooth.
2. Step 2: After combining the egg and cream cheese, add the vanilla extract and set aside.
3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
4. Step 4: Combine the dry and wet ingredients thoroughly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least one hour.
5. Step 5: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
6. Step 6: Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Using a cookie scoop, portion out 11 cookies onto a baking sheet, making sure not to flatten them.
7. Step 7: Bake the cookies for 15 minutes. After baking, let them cool for at least 15 minutes before dusting with powdered sweetener for a nice garnish.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a few sugar-free chocolate chips to the dough before chilling.
• You can substitute the granulated sweetener with your preferred keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit.
• If you prefer softer cookies, reduce the baking time by 1-2 minutes and keep an eye on them.

Storage

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. To enjoy them warm, microwave briefly for 10-15 seconds or reheat in a low oven for a few minutes.

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of almond and coconut flour?

This recipe is designed for keto-friendly flours to keep it low carb. Using regular flour will change the texture and carbohydrate content significantly.

Why do I need to refrigerate the dough?

Chilling the dough helps the flours absorb the moisture and firms up the dough, which prevents spreading and ensures soft, thick cookies.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
• 1.5 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sweetener (keto-friendly, such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

• 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Cream the Cream Cheese and Egg: Using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then add the egg and continue mixing until fully incorporated. Alternatively, blend all the wet ingredients together in a blender until smooth.
2. Add Vanilla Extract: Mix in the vanilla extract with the wet ingredients and set aside.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly to form a cookie dough. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least one hour to firm up.
5. Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) to reach the proper baking temperature while the dough chills.
6. Scoop and Bake: Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator. Using a cookie scoop, portion out 11 equal-sized scoops onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly. Do not flatten the dough balls; bake for 15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
7. 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. Optionally, dust lightly with powdered sweetener for an elegant finish.

Notes

• Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
• Using a granulated keto sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit helps keep the carbs low and sweetness high.
• Refrigerating the dough helps achieve a better texture and prevents spreading during baking.
• You can store baked cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
• For a variation, add a few sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
• Ensure to use baking powder that is gluten-free if needed.
