Ingredients
4 oz (1/2 cup) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated erythritol (or other keto-friendly sweetener)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, cream together softened cream cheese, butter, and erythritol until smooth.
Add Egg & Vanilla:
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Make Dough:
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
Fold in Pecans:
Gently stir in chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
Optional Chill:
Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too soft to handle.
Shape & Flatten:
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions, roll into balls, and place on baking sheet. Flatten with a fork using a crisscross pattern.
Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
Cool & Serve:
Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve once fully cooled.
Notes
For extra texture, toast the pecans lightly before folding them in.
Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Make it festive by adding cinnamon or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
