COOKIES: PATRIOTIC CREAM CHEESE COOKIES (click here to print)


Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour
2 tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup Swerve Sweetener or other erythritol sweetener
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp liquid stevia extract
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries (1/4-inch pieces)
1/2 cup frozen wild blueberries

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter together with sweetener until light and slightly fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla and stevia extract until smooth.
Add almond flour mixture in two additions, scraping down beater and sides of bowl as necessary. 
Carefully fold in chopped strawberries until mixed in. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and space 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten balls with the palm of your hand to about 1/2 inch thick. Press 4 or 5 frozen blueberries into the top of each cookie. 
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until just firm to the touch and barely beginning to brown, rotating the pans halfway through baking.
Remove and let cool  on pans.
