Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cream the Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. You can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer for this.
- Add Sweetener and Egg: Add the erythritol (or your chosen sweetener) and continue to beat until well combined. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, almond flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers. If desired, sprinkle a few extra chopped pecans on top of each cookie.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The cookies will be soft when they first come out of the oven but will firm up as they cool.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Make sure the cream cheese and butter are well softened for a smoother dough.
- For added flavor, you can incorporate a bit of cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg into the dough.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
