Keto Strawberry Cream Cheese Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

  • For the Cookies:
    • 1 cup almond flour
    • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
    • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol (or any low-carb sweetener)
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • For the Topping (optional):
    • Powdered erythritol for dusting
    • Extra strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, erythritol, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients:
    • Add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until well combined.
  4. Fold in Strawberries:
    • Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Shape Cookies:
    • Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of the spoon, as they will not spread much while baking.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Keep an eye on them, as almond flour cookies can brown quickly.
  7. Cool:
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Optional Topping:
    • Once cooled, dust with powdered erythritol for a sweet finish and garnish with extra strawberries if desired.
