Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tbsp unsalted butter, softened (for swirl)
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp allulose or powdered sugar-free sweetener (for swirl)
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened (for frosting)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 1 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener (for frosting)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
Preparing the Dough
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered sweetener, baking powder, and salt until well mixed. This step is crucial as it ensures an even distribution of flavors and texture throughout the dough.
Mix Wet Ingredients
Now, add the softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a thick dough forms. Let the dough rest for a minute or two—this helps it thicken just right and makes it easier to handle later on.
Shaping and Baking the Cookies
Form Cookies
Scoop out equal portions of dough—about 12 balls—and place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Flatten each ball slightly to your desired thickness. Remember, the cookies will puff up while baking, so don’t worry if they look a bit small!
Bake the Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Then, bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until golden. Once they’re done, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transferring them too soon can make them crumble, so be patient!
Adding the Cinnamon Swirl
Prepare Cinnamon Mixture
While those cookies are cooling, let’s prepare the cinnamon swirl. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, cinnamon, and sweetener. Stir until smooth and creamy. This is what’s going to elevate your cookies to the next level! Carefully spread a thin, even layer over each cooled cookie.
Making the Cream Cheese Frosting
Combine Frosting Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese and softened butter together until creamy and smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sweetener while mixing thoroughly. Finally, add the vanilla extract for that lovely extra flavor that ties everything together.
Pipe the Frosting
Now comes the fun part! Transfer the frosting into a piping bag. Pipe it into a swirl pattern on top of each cookie. Not only does this add a beautiful finishing touch, but it also gives that extra creamy bite.
