Ingredients

Cookie Dough

• 1 ¼ cups almond flour
• 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 4 tbsp butter (softened)
• ⅓ cup powdered keto sweetener
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt

Strawberry Mix-In

• ½ cup finely diced fresh strawberries
• 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)

Ingredient Notes

• Almond Flour: Gives the cookies their soft, chewy texture. Don’t substitute with coconut flour — it will dry them out.
• Cream Cheese: Adds richness and creaminess; room temperature works best.
• Keto Sweetener: Powdered erythritol or allulose blends deliver the smoothest texture.
• Fresh Strawberries: Dice them very small to prevent extra moisture and ensure even distribution.
• Lemon Juice: Enhances the strawberry flavor naturally.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the cookies from sticking and to ensure even baking.

2. Cream Butter, Sweetener & Cream Cheese

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, keto sweetener, and cream cheese using a hand mixer until smooth, fluffy, and creamy. This step creates the base for your soft cookie texture.

3. Add the Egg & Vanilla

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. The mixture should look silky and uniform.

4. Add Dry Ingredients

Now add almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. The dough will feel slightly sticky — that’s perfect!

5. Fold in Strawberries

Gently fold in the diced strawberries with a spatula. Try not to overmix, so the cookies stay tender and the berries don’t break down.

6. Scoop and Shape

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto your baking sheet. Lightly press them down — they won’t spread much on their own.

7. Bake

Place the tray into the oven and bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges look lightly golden and the centers appear set.

8. Cool

This step is important! Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for at least 10 minutes before moving them to a rack. They firm up as they cool.

Serving Suggestions

These Keto Strawberry Cream Cheese Cookies pair wonderfully with:

• A hot cup of sugar-free vanilla latte

Storage Information

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for 2 days.
• Refrigerator: Keeps fresh for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Freeze up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge for best texture.

Pro Tips & Variations

• Add a handful of sugar-free white chocolate chips for a dessert-style twist.
• Swap strawberries with raspberries or blueberries if you want flavor variations.
• For extra flavor, add ½ teaspoon lemon zest to brighten the cookies.
• Make them thicker by chilling the dough for 20 minutes before baking.
• For a firmer, chewier texture, use allulose sweetener.
