Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by creaming the full-fat cream cheese in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently until just combined.
  4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough chills.
  6. After chilling, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop the dough into balls, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until golden around the edges.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
