- Prepping Time 10M
- Cooking Time 16-20M
- Cooling Time 10M
- Total Time 40M
- Net Carb/Cookie ~1.6g
- Servings 12 Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
- 1/4 Cup Sweetener (sugar alternative or preferred sweetener)
- 1/3 Cup Butter
- 1/4 Cup Low Carb Chocolate Chips (apply code LOWCARBINGASIAN for 10% off)
- 2oz Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Directions
1) Gather all the ingredients.
2) Preheat oven to 325F.
3) In a small Teflon fry pan, add butter on medium-low heat. Melt and continuously mix the butter until color turns amber/light brown, about 3-4 minutes. Once browned, remove from heat and let it cool down.
4) In the meantime use a large mixing bowl to combine Almond Flour, sweetener, cream cheese, Vanilla Extract and browned butter. Mix well for about 1 minute with a hand/stand mixer. Note – make sure browned butter is at room temperature when pouring otherwise it will ‘cook’ the batter.
5) Once mixed, fold in the Low Carb Chocolate Chips by hand.
6) Roll the dough into 1 inch size balls and place on a silicone baking mat or greased baking sheet.
7) Press down the dough balls using your palm of your hand to roughly 1/4 inch thickness.
8) Bake at 325 F for 16-20 minutes (ours took 17 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!

Hey Kaitlyn! Glad you liked them and thanks for the feedback!
These are really easy to make. The brown butter adds a lot of flavor. I added pecans instead of chocolate chips just because I didn’t have chips. They were delicious. Served with a cold glass of almond milk it made for a great carb friendly snack.
