Ingredients

• Softened Salted Butter (for optimal baking results)
• Softened Cream Cheese (ensure it’s at room temperature)
• Sweetener (used in both the cookies and topping; my blend is recommended, but alternatives like monk fruit sweetener are provided in the recipe card)
• Egg (serves as the binding agent in this recipe)
• Vanilla Extract (Mexican vanilla is a cost-effective option for enhanced flavor)
• Blanched Almond Flour (provides a desirable texture to baked goods and is a common ingredient in keto recipes; for nut-free alternatives, consider sunflower seed flour, as coconut flour is not a suitable substitute for almond flour)
• Baking Powder (contributes to the cookies’ fluffy and soft texture)
• Cinnamon (opt for a higher quality product, such as Saigon cinnamon, for a robust cinnamon flavor)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Using an electric mixer, blend softened butter, cream cheese, and sweetener. Once mixed, incorporate the egg and vanilla, ensuring a thorough combination. Integrate almond flour, baking powder, and cinnamon into the dough.
3. Employ a large cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll each portion in a cinnamon sugar sweetener mixture. Flip the dough ball, lightly press down to achieve a thickness of around ½ inch, then flip it again to coat in the cinnamon sweetener mixture. Gently transfer the coated cookie dough to the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Place the snickerdoodles in the preheated oven and bake for 14-15 minutes until they achieve a golden brown hue, with the edges slightly firm. While the cookies will be soft at room temperature, refrigeration can be employed to enhance firmness.

Keto snickerdoodles tips

• It is essential to flatten the dough; otherwise, the cookies may resemble mounds rather than the desired cookie shape. While the cookies will be soft upon removing them from the baking sheet, rest assured they are fully cooked. Refrigerating them for a few hours will yield a firmer texture.
• If a cookie scoop isn’t available, a tablespoon can be used to shape cookie dough balls. Large cookie scoops typically utilize about three tablespoons of dough, so aiming for 2-3 tablespoons per cookie dough ball is recommended.
• Keto snickerdoodles make delightful gifts. Wrapping up a few low-carb cookies of various varieties and presenting them to neighbors, teachers, new acquaintances, or friends during the holidays or any occasion is a thoughtful gesture. They are also well-received as a gift for someone celebrating a new addition to the family!
