How to Make Healthy Cream Cheese Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter, 4 ounces (113g) softened cream cheese, and 1/4 cup (50g) stevia (or your preferred sweetener) until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Shape the dough into a roll approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Once chilled, slice the dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  8. Place the cookie slices onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
