    These walnut cream cheese cookies are a delicate low carb cookie with a slight crunch.   At only 1.3g net carbs a cookie you can indulge with no guilt.

    Although my popular cream cheese cookies recipe is baked using coconut flour, I thought that I would keep the nut theme of this cookie recipe by using almond flour.  If you wanted to use coconut flour instead, then reduce the quantity to ½ cup.  

    I served these walnut cream cheese cookies partially dipped in chocolate (high cocoa solids naturally) and more chopped walnuts.   They were heavenly but would be just as delicious plain.  Perhaps just a drizzle of chocolate? 

    Taking a gamble, I did not shape the cookie dough into cookies before baking but just placed the rolled balls onto the baking tray, keeping a decent space apart.   The mixture did spread as baking and did not overlap either.  I used more than one tray.

    Baking with Cream Cheese

    When you handle the baked cookies be gentle.  They are very delicate to handle, and I would advise you keep them cooling as long as you can before decorating them.   There were a few broken casualties that I immediately took care off and can confirm that they are delicious warm.

    How to store cream cheese cookis

    Store them in the fridge and they become a firmer cookie.   I loved them the next day and the plate of them in my fridge became my siren.  I was popping in and out of the fridge for a quick cookie all day.  And this continued into the next day…

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 4 oz Cream cheese softened
    • ½ cup Butter, unsalted softened
    • ½ cup Erythritol
    • 1 Egg
    • ½ teaspoon Baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon Ginger
    • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
    • ½ teaspoon Salt
    • 1 cup Almond flour
    • 1 cup Walnuts chopped

    Instructions
     

    • In a bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth
    • Add the erythritol and mix thoroughly.
    • Add the vanilla extract and egg. Beat until smooth.
    • Add the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt and beat until combined. 
    • Gently fold the walnuts into the sticky dough.
    • Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for at least an hour for the mixture to firm up.
    • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
    • Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
    • Remove the dough from the fridge.
    • Using clean damp hands, make a ball from the dough. Mine were about the size of a large walnut.
    • Place the balls onto the parchment paper lined tray and make sure that they are not too close, as the cookie mixture will spread when baking.
    • Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden.
    • Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
    • Store in the fridge.
