What ingredients do I need to make blackberry cookie?

What are the instructions to make blackberry cookie?
Start by combining water, sweetener, and blackberries in a saucepan, then gently smash the blackberries with a spatula and simmer until a syrupy consistency is achieved.
In a large bowl, mix almond flour, sweetener, cream cheese, and melted butter until well combined.
Shape the dough into golf ball-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet. Press down with your palm and create an indent with your thumb, filling it with blackberry syrup.
Slightly overfill to ensure a perfect center. Bake at 325°F for 16-20 minutes until the edges turn slightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on a rack for at least 10 minutes before handling.
Pro Tip – quickly cool the cookies placing them in the freezer for 5 minutes. The cookies must be cooled before handling because the cream cheese needs to cool to hold the cookies together.

- Prepping Time 15M
- Cooking Time 16-20M
- Cooling Time 10M
- Total Time 45M
- Net Carb/Cookie ~1.5g
- Servings 12 Cookies
Ingredients
Blackberry Sauce
- 1 Cup Blackberry
- 2 tbsp Sweetener (sugar alternative or preferred sweetener)
- 1 tsp Water
Cookies
- 1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
- 1/4 Cup Sweetener (sugar alternative or preferred sweetener)
- 1/3 Cup Butter
- 2oz Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Directions
1) Gather all the ingredients.
2) Preheat oven to 325F.
3) In a small saucepan, add blackberries, sweetener, and 1 tsp of water. Note – you may need to add an extra 1/2 tbsp of sweetener depending on how ripe your blackberries are.
4) Cook on medium heat until water is boiling, then turn down to low, stirring often and crushing blackberries with a soft spatula until a nice syrupy sauce forms. Roughly 11-14 minutes. Set aside cool down.
5) In the meantime, melt butter in a small bowl in the microwave (about 45-60 seconds).
6) Use a large mixing bowl to combine Almond Flour, sweetener, cream cheese, melted butter and Vanilla Extract. Mix well for about 1 minute with a hand/stand mixer. Note – make sure melted butter is at room temperature when pouring otherwise it will ‘cook’ the batter.
7) Roll the dough into 1 inch size balls and place on a silicone baking mat or greased baking sheet.
8) Press down the dough balls using your palm of your hand to roughly 1/4 inch thickness.
9) With your thumb, make an imprint and press about 3/4 the way down.
10) Fill each cookies with about 1/2 tsp of blackberry sauce in the center. I recommend slightly overfilling just enough to create a mound but not over-spilling. The cookie will expand as it bakes, so the center will as well. Slightly overfilling will compensate for this.
11) Bake at 325 F for 16-20 minutes (ours took 18 minutes) or until bottom edges start to slightly brown. Once done, wait at least 10 minutes for cookie to cool down prior to handling. We prefer enjoying the cookies once they have completely cooled down and hardened, which takes about 1 hour, but it’s up to you!
