Fluffy Keto Cream Cheese Cookies Recipe

Experience a delightful, low-carb treat that celebrates indulgence and health. Rich cream cheese blended with almond and coconut flours creates a uniquely fluffy cookie perfect for sharing with friends. This edition of Keto Cream Cheese Cookies Recipes effortlessly marries flavor and finesse, inviting you to savor every guilt-free, memorable bite.

I have always been fascinated by recipes that manages to mix flavor and simplicity in one go. These Fluffy Keto Cream Cheese Cookies is a pretty awesome example of that.

I threw together 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened together with 1/2 cup unsalted butter which makes for a really creamy base. Then i mixed in 1 cup almond flour and 1/4 cup coconut flour to keep it low carb and gluten free, along with 1 cup powdered erythritol to sweeten things up.

Add in 2 large eggs and 1 tsp vanilla extract, and you’ve got a cookie dough that turns into these amazingly light cookies. I got the idea from trying out various keto treats that range from snickerdoodle style to even experimenting with lemon or peanut butter cream cheese cookies.

I guarantee these cookies will bring a delicious twist to your keto dessert lineup even if they seem different at first!

FAQ

Fluffy Keto Cream Cheese Cookies Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Cream Cheese: You could try using mascarpone cheese instead if you cant find full-fat cream cheese. It gives a similar rich flavor.
• Unsalted Butter: If you dont have butter on hand, you can swap it out with ghee or even coconut oil. Both work well in keto recipes.
• Almond Flour: For those with nut allergies, hazelnut flour can be a decent substitute though you may need to tweak the liquid amounts a bit.
• Powdered Erythritol: If you want a change, powdered monk fruit sweetener is a good alternative. It sweetens in a similar way.

Pro Tips

1. Make sure you let all your ingredients get to room temperature first – it really helps them mix together smooth without any lumps.
2. When you add the dry mix to your cream cheese mix, just stir until you don’t see any traces of flour. Over stirring can make your cookies turn out tough.
3. Keep an eye on the oven while baking – every oven is different, so checking a couple of minutes early can ensure your cookies dont burn.
4. Let your cookies sit on the tray for a few minutes after coming out of the oven so they can firm up before you move them over to a cooling rack.
