Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. If using sweetener, stir it in at this stage.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers. Work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, portion out the dough into 8 mounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently shape them into rounds, but do not flatten them too much.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with butter or your favorite low-carb jam. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
