Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
