Time 2h

Yield 15 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup erythritol (see Cook's Note)
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Mix together the almond and coconut flours in a small bowl.
  • Combine the butter and erythritol in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream cheese and continue to beat until smooth, about 1 minute more. Add the almond extract and egg and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and continue beating until just combined and smooth. Gently fold in the almonds.
  • Place the mixture onto a piece of parchment or wax paper and, using the paper, mold the dough into a log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Slice the dough into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool before serving; the cookies will firm up as they cool.

I'm not a huge fan of almond flour, but these cookies were surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making them again.

I've tried other keto cookie recipes before, but these are by far the best. They're the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

I love that these cookies are made with almond flour instead of regular flour. It gives them a nice nutty flavor and makes them a healthier option.

These cookies are so easy to make, even a beginner baker can handle them. The hardest part is waiting for them to cool before you can eat them!
