Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Line a cookie sheet or sheet pan with a silicone baking mat.

Step 3

Add the sweetener and butter to a mixing bowl and mix with a hand mixer.

Step 4

Add in the cream cheese and mix.

Step 5

Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix.

Step 6

Add the almond flour and mix until cookie dough forms.

Step 7

With wet hands, use a cookie scoop or spoon to shape the cookies. For large cookies I make them with 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of cookie dough. This will produce 10- 12 cookies. Flatten each using the palm of your hands.

Step 8

Bake for 10-14 minutes until the cookies begin to brown. Mine were done around 11 minutes. You don’t want the bottoms to turn brown, this will result in burnt cookies. The bottom should be golden when removed from the oven.

Step 9

Remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Step 10

Combine the ingredients and spread on the cookies. If this doesn't produce enough icing for you, add more cream cheese and confectioners sweetener as needed.

Step 11

Ice the cookies after they have cooled completely.
