Keto Cream Cheese Cookies (Gluten free, sugar-free) instructions
- Preheating oven to 350. Line baking sheet with parchment paper..
- Beat coconut oil\butter and cream cheese and sugar until fluffy and light in color. (If leaving out the cream cheese you will use 2 eggs instead of 1.).
- Beat in vanilla and egg..
- Beat in the almond flour (1\2 C at a time). The dough may be a little dense and crumbly if dairy free but should stick when pressed together, or stickier if with cream cheese - add a bit more flour to make it more workable..
- Form the dough into balls of 1\2 tbsp.
- Place the balls on parchment paper (and flatten slightly). Bake for 15 minutes..
- Freeze the cookies to dip into melted chocolate. 😁.
That being said, not all cream cheese is treated the same. Be SURE to check the carbs and nutritional info on the back of the package to make sure it fits with your macros. Just like the original version, these are low carb, gluten-free and sugar-free. They are crispy, with a very muted cream cheese flavor and a delicate crumb. My new favorite keto cookies, for sure!.
