These keto-friendly cookies are described as a bit dry on their own, so the accompanying cream cheese frosting is highly recommended. The recipe provides options for using either coconut or almond flour for the cookies, and liquid stevia or granular sweetener for the frosting.

First, prepare the cookies: Let the butter and cream cheese soften. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Using an electric mixer, combine the softened butter and powdered sweetener. Add the cream cheese and mix until well combined. Next, add the egg, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing after each addition. Finally, add the coconut flour (or almond flour) and mix until a dough forms. Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet in balls of approximately 1 tablespoon each (this should yield 12-15 cookies). Flatten each cookie dough ball. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown lightly. Let them cool for 5 minutes before handling. Next, prepare the frosting: Soften the butter and cream cheese. Add the rest of the frosting ingredients (vanilla extract, liquid stevia, or sweetener) to the softened butter and cream cheese. Mix all ingredients well until smooth. Once the cookies have cooled completely, apply the frosting and enjoy!
