These easy-to-prep soft brownie cookies are like biting into a heavenly chocolate cloud.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 whole egg
- 1 egg white
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon liquid stevia – equivalent to 1/4 cup sugar (we used Sweet Drops—see sweetener guidelines in Hip Tips))
- 6 tablespoons blanched almond flour (we like Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour)
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons erythritol, granular
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and using an electric hand mixer, beat until light and fluffy. Add in melted butter, 1 whole egg + 1 egg white, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia and continue to beat over medium-high speed for 90 seconds.
3
In a separate mixing bowl, add dry ingredients (almond flour, erythritol, cocoa powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt) and mix until combined.
4
Add dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet mixture. Using the hand mixer, blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Continue mixing until a batter forms. It will resemble a thick, sticky pudding.
5
Onto the prepared cookie sheet, drop large tablespoons of batter about 2 inches apart. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
6
Cool for 20 minutes before eating.
7
For best results, allow cookies to remain on a cooling rack for at least an hour before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.

Enjoy!
