Ingredients
For the Keto Cream Cheese Cookies
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar substitute like Swerve or Lakanto
- 1 egg room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Glaze
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar-free sweetener plus more as needed
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- For the Cookies: Whisk together the flours, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Cream the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the sugar substitute and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla in and mix until combined, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Add the dry mixture into the wet and mix on low until just combined. Cover and chill for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 375F and line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners. Scoop ½ tablespoon-sized piece of dough into your dampened hands and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Place two inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are set and just turning golden. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- For the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered erythritol, cream, and vanilla, adding more sweetener or cream as needed to make a thick glaze. Place glaze in a plastic zipper bag and cut off a tiny bit of the corner. Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies. Allow to dry and then serve/store.

Notes
- Make sure your cream cheese, butter and eggs are all room temperature. It really makes a difference in baking.
- Don't skip the chill time. This is how you will achieve that cloud like soft center.
- The glaze can be omitted. If you do want a touch of sweetness, keep it simple and dust with powdered sweetener.
- Baked cookies can be stored on the counter for 3 days or frozen for up to three months.
- Dough can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to three days before baking.
