Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 4 oz (113g) full fat cream cheese, slightly softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup (128g) unsweetened creamy natural peanut butter with no added oils
- 6 tablespoons (44g) powdered sugar substitute with starch (such as powdered Swerve)
Coating
- 3 tablespoons (44g) powdered sugar substitute with starch (such as powdered Swerve), for dusting
Instructions
- Mix Cream Cheese and Peanut Butter: Add the cream cheese and peanut butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully blended, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl for even mixing.
- Add Powdered Sugar Substitute: Incorporate 6 tablespoons of the powdered sugar substitute into the mixture and continue mixing until a thick, uniform dough forms. If the dough feels too soft to handle, cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 1 hour until firm enough to shape.
- Scoop and Shape Cookies: Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each portion into smooth, round balls, ensuring even sizing for consistent cookies.
- Coat with Powdered Sweetener: Dust or roll the cookie balls in the remaining powdered sugar substitute to coat them evenly. For best results, dust the cookies by passing the sweetener through a fine mesh strainer over the cookies to achieve a light, snowy appearance.
- Store Properly: Place the cookies in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. They will keep fresh for several days in the fridge or can be frozen for longer storage.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing and smooth texture.
- If the dough is initially too soft to roll, refrigerate it to firm up before shaping.
- Use a powdered sugar substitute with starch to ensure proper texture and dusting capability.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
- These cookies are best enjoyed chilled and are perfect for keto and low-carb diets.
