Recipe Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
• 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter, softened

• 1/3 cup Powdered Erythritol
• 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• Pinch of Salt
• 1/4 cup Sugar-Free Mini Chocolate Chips

How To Make

Step 1

In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together with an electric mixer until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on medium speed until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the almond flour and mix on low speed until a soft, thick cookie dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 4

Fold in the sugar-free mini chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 5

Serve immediately with a spoon, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a firmer, scoopable texture. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Tips

Make Sure the Butter and Cream Cheese Are Actually Soft

Both the butter and cream cheese need to be truly softened before you start mixing. That means leaving them out on the counter for about 30-45 minutes, not just a quick 10 minutes.

If they’re still cold in the center, you’ll get lumps in your dough that won’t blend out no matter how long you mix. The dough should be completely smooth with no little white chunks of cream cheese visible.

A good test is to press your finger into the butter. If it sinks in easily without resistance, it’s ready.

Use Powdered Erythritol, Not Granular

The recipe calls for powdered erythritol for a reason. Granular erythritol won’t dissolve into the dough and you’ll end up with a gritty, crunchy texture that feels like sand in your mouth.

If you only have granular erythritol on hand, just pulse it in a blender or coffee grinder for about 30 seconds until it turns into a fine powder. That works just as well as buying the powdered version.

Mix the Almond Flour on Low Speed

When you add the almond flour, keep your mixer on the lowest setting. If you go too fast, the almond flour will fly out of the bowl and you’ll also overwork the dough.

Overworked almond flour dough gets oily because the fat in the almonds starts releasing. You want a soft dough, not a greasy one. Mix just until the flour is incorporated and then stop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use granular erythritol instead of powdered?

You can, but powdered erythritol works much better here. Since there is no baking involved, granular erythritol won’t dissolve properly and you will end up with a gritty, sandy texture in your cookie dough.

If you only have granular on hand, just pulse it in a blender or coffee grinder for about 30 seconds until it turns into a fine powder. That will give you the same smooth result.
