Fluffy, low-carb cream cheese cookies with a tender crumb and buttery vanilla flavor — the perfect keto-friendly treat that melts in your mouth.
4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups finely ground almond flour
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy.
Add sweetener, egg, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Stir in almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Scoop into balls and place on baking sheet. Flatten slightly.
Bake 12–15 minutes until just golden.
Cool on pan before transferring to rack.
Chill dough if too soft. Don’t overbake — they firm up as they cool. Add lemon zest or cinnamon for variation.
