Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup butter (softened)
  • 4 ounce cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/3 cup allulose
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup allulose (powdered)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup allulose (powdered)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, softened cream cheese, and 1/3 cup allulose until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg yolk, lemon extract, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
  4. Gradually add the almond flour, 1/4 cup powdered allulose, and baking powder. Mix on low speed until a cohesive dough forms.
  5. Scoop the dough into balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Roll each ball in the remaining 1/4 cup powdered allulose.
  6. Place the dough balls 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork or the bottom of a glass. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Notes

- Ensure your butter and cream cheese are truly softened for easy creaming.
- For a stronger lemon flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest to the dough.
- Cookies will firm up significantly as they cool. Do not overbake; aim for lightly golden edges.
