¾ cup blanched almond flour
1 ½ Tbsp coconut flour
½ cup granulated keto sweetener
1 tsp baking powder
⅛ tsp salt
4 oz full-fat cream cheese
1 large egg
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
Prepare the Wet Mixture
Using a hand mixer: Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the egg and mix well.
Using a blender: Blend all wet ingredients together until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla. Set aside.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
Combine the Dough
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Bake the Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Scoop 11 cookies onto a lined baking sheet.
Do not flatten—keeping them rounded makes them fluffier.
Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly set.
Cool and Serve
Let the cookies cool for at least 15 minutes.
Dust with powdered sweetener if you like a pretty finish.
Chill the dough: This is the secret to getting tall, fluffy cookies.
Don’t overbake: They should be soft when you take them out— they firm up as they cool.
Use full-fat cream cheese: It gives the cookies the richest flavor and texture.
Flavor variations:
Add lemon zest for a bright twist
Mix in sugar-free chocolate chips
Add a pinch of cinnamon for warmth
