Keto Cream Cheese Pecan Cookies

Keto Cream Cheese Pecan Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, and powdered erythritol until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the vanilla extract to the wet mixture and continue to beat until well incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
6. Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each for the cookies to spread.
8. Using the back of a fork, gently flatten each cookie ball, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
10. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Put them on a wire rack to cool completely.
