🛒 Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour (super fine works best)
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar-free sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blend)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-Ins
- ¾ cup freeze-dried strawberries, lightly crushed
(fresh strawberries add too much moisture — freeze-dried works perfectly for low-carb) - Optional: 2 tbsp sugar-free white chocolate chips
🍪 How to Make Them
1️⃣ Cream the base
Beat together:
- Butter
- Cream cheese
- Sweetener
Mix until smooth, creamy, and fluffy.
2️⃣ Add egg + vanilla
Mix just until combined — don’t overbeat.
3️⃣ Add the dry ingredients
Stir in:
- Almond flour
- Coconut flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
Dough will be thick and soft.
4️⃣ Fold in the strawberries
Gently stir in your freeze-dried strawberry pieces.
They’ll soften beautifully in the oven.
5️⃣ Scoop big bakery cookies
Use a large cookie scoop or shape your own.
Place on parchment — these cookies puff rather than spread.
6️⃣ Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes,
or until the edges are lightly golden but centers are still soft.
Let cool completely — they firm up as they sit.
