Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons almond flour (blanched almond flour)
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 6 tablespoons sugar free powdered sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup allulose (or monk fruit sweetened, granulated)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter (softened)
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, sugar free powdered sugar, and salt. Stir the ingredients well to distribute evenly.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add your softened butter and cream cheese to the dry mixture. Using a stick mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese into the flour mixture until it becomes crumbly. Add the vanilla extract and continue beating until the dough forms clumps.
- Knead the Dough: Sprinkle some almond flour onto a clean kitchen surface. Transfer the dough onto this surface and gently knead it until smooth and cohesive. Shape the dough into a ball, cover it completely, then flatten slightly and refrigerate for 40 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lay a large sheet of parchment paper on your work surface, place the chilled dough on top, then cover with another parchment paper sheet. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut and Coat Cookies: Use a cookie cutter to cut circles out of the dough. Lightly dip both sides of each cookie in the granulated allulose or monk fruit sweetener, then place them on a lined baking sheet, spacing evenly. Repeat this process until all dough is used.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to maintain softness.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing.
Notes
- Using blanched almond flour helps achieve a finer, softer texture.
- Allulose and monk fruit sweeteners are keto-friendly sugar alternatives that do not spike blood sugar levels.
- Softening the butter and cream cheese beforehand ensures better mixing and texture.
- For best results, avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
- If dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour while kneading.
