Low carb Christmas Snowflake Cookies ( Recipe Below)

Описание: Join me as I make a batch of low carb Snowflake cookies with sprinkles

This is a cookie my mom and sister make every year! It’s one of my favorites with two distinct ingredients that I think sets it apart from just any cookie with cream cheese . Orange zest and cinnamon really bring a unique flavor.
I tweaked a low carb cream cheese cookie recipe and after several attempts I feel I accomplished getting the taste just right.

In this video I mentioned using 2 1/2 teaspoons of sprinkles but I misspoke it was an actually 1 1/2 teaspoon.

Here is my recipe :

Low carb Snowflake Cookies

3/4 cup blanched almond flour
2.5 tablespoons coconut flour
1/2 cup granulated sweetener ( I use swerve )

1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

4 ounces full fat cream cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
