How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 F. Cream the salted butter, cream cheese, xanthan gum, baking powder, and powdered sweetener for 3-4 minutes. Cream these ingredients for the full length of time as it ensures a very light and fluffy cookie. Ensure all the ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter and cream cheese, to aid in this process.
Step 2
Next, add in the almond flour, kosher salt, and vanilla extract. Then cream the mixture for 2-3 minutes. Divide the dough in half and wrap each in plastic wrap.
Step 3
Form each into a disk shape and chill for 30 minutes to one hour. You want to make sure the dough is properly chilled as the dough is sticky. The dough should be fairly firm even during the rolling process.
Step 4
Unwrap one of the doughs and place in between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll the dough to a ¼” thickness, then cut the cookies using a 2 ⅝” round cookie cutter (or another cutter around the same size). Chill the baking sheet with the cookies on for 10 minutes.
Step 5
You want to be sure the dough stays chilled throughout the entire process, so the dough is easy to work with. If it begins to warm, roll up the dough and chill or freeze until firm again. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until puffed and very lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
Step 6
In the meantime, combine the remaining ingredients to make the frosting. Beat the ingredients in a stand mixer bowl until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Once the cookies are cooled, use a small spatula to spread frosting over the top of each cookie.
