Top Tips for making Cream Cheese Keto Cookies
- Beat well: It’s important to cream the cream cheese and butter really well before adding in the other ingredients to make sure the batter is smooth. The cookies will turn out best this way!
- Press them out: You’ll want to make sure you press out your cookies so that they are about ⅓ inch thick before you bake them. This way, they will cook evenly!
- Cool completely: These cookies will easily fall apart if you try to remove them from the pan before they have cooled off, so make sure to keep them on the pan.
How to make these cookies Dairy Free
You can easily make these keto cookies dairy free if you or someone you’re baking for has an allergy or follows a vegan diet plan. Simply swap out the cream cheese for dairy free cream cheese, and the butter for vegan butter!
How to store Keto Cream Cheese Cookies
These keto cookies are best stored in the fridge in an airtight container as they are so moist thanks to the cream cheese! They will last this way for up to a week!
Keto Cookies FAQ
Cream cheese is a fabulous food choice when it comes to following a Keto diet! It is very low in carbohydrates and contains no sugars, but is high in fat which makes it the perfect addition to any keto meal.
Almond flour is a great choice for those eating Keto because it’s high in protein and healthy fats and low in carbohydrates. It is great for baking and adding flavor to many different keto dishes.
Swerve is a natural sweetener derived from erythritol used to sweeten baked goods and anywhere else you would normally use sugar! It’s a great alternative to sugar for those following a Keto diet.
