Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by creaming the room temperature full-fat cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the large egg and mix until well combined.
  2. Drizzle in the vanilla extract and continue to mix for another 30 seconds until evenly incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the blanched almond flour, coconut flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Whisk for about 1 minute.
  4. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough into roughly 11 mounds.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until golden around the edges.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Always chill the dough for at least an hour; this prevents spreading. Use room temperature cream cheese and keep an eye on baking time to maintain texture.
