Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, xylitol, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy using an electric mixer.

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and heavy cream to the butter; beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

For the frosting, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract; beat until fully combined and fluffy.
