Time 2h

Yield 15 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup erythritol (see Cook's Note)
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Mix together the almond and coconut flours in a small bowl.
  • Combine the butter and erythritol in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream cheese and continue to beat until smooth, about 1 minute more. Add the almond extract and egg and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and continue beating until just combined and smooth. Gently fold in the almonds.
  • Place the mixture onto a piece of parchment or wax paper and, using the paper, mold the dough into a log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Slice the dough into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool before serving; the cookies will firm up as they cool.
