Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
- Cream Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered erythritol until smooth and fluffy.
- Add Vanilla and Egg: Mix in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Form Cookie Dough Balls: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls (about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie). Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten Cookies: Gently flatten each cookie ball with your palm or the bottom of a glass to about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the tops are set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy: Once completely cooled, enjoy your Keto Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
