Ingredients
Cookies:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon additional extract e.g., pistachio, hazelnut, almond, etc.
- 6 tablespoons Swerve Confectioner’s
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Glaze:
- 6 tablespoons Swerve Confectioner’s
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or 1/2 vanilla and 1/2 another extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 to 5 teaspoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300F; line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
- Cream together the butter and cream cheese in a large bowl, and then cream in the vanilla, additional extract, and Swerve. Mix in the almond flour, arrowroot, baking powder, and salt until it forms a dough.
- For slice and bake cookies, roll the dough into a 6-inch log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill until cold (about 30 minutes in the fridge or 10 minutes in the freezer) before slicing into 12 rounds (each 1/4-inch thick).
- For cutout shapes, form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill until cold. Roll it out between 2 sheets of parchment paper to a circle about 10 inches in diameter and 1/4-inch thick. Use any festive cookie cutter shape to stamp out cookies.
- Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheet; chill 10 minutes in the freezer.
- Bake until golden on the bottom and along the outside, about 20 to 24 minutes. Cool completely before removing and glazing.
- For the glaze, whisk together all ingredients, adding just enough water so it reaches a glaze-like consistency.
- Spread the glaze on each cookie and let it set before serving.
