Ingredients
Scale
2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup erythritol or preferred sweetener
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp cinnamon sugar (erythritol mixed with cinnamon) for coating
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Using your hands, form the dough into small balls and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
For a nuttier flavor, you can substitute half of the almond flour with coconut flour.
Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preference.
