VANILLA CREAM CHEESE
COOKIES
This plain cookie is a keeper recipe with the cream cheese and vanilla flavor coming through very nicely. They flew between Ian and me – by midday the next day, they were all gone. They would lend themselves to your favorite low-carb icing/frosting for special occasions – they have a nice flat surface and are firm cookies. These cookies have no butter in them, but this makes them a firmer cookie. You can even keep these cookies at room temperature. If you decide to add 2 tbsp (30 mL) of butter to the recipe, for instance, the cookies will be softer, more moist and will have to be refrigerated. These cookies without butter are a drier cookie and almost like store-bought, but not quite.
I also think you could flavor these cookies with spices like ginger or lemon zest for the holidays. I am going to experiment. I am wondering if one could roll these out and make Gingerbread Men. That is something I should look into next with these cookies.
4 oz cream cheese, softened (125 g)
Liquid sweetener to equal 3/4 cup sugar (175 mL)
1/4 cup bulk sweetener of choice, OR more liquid sweetener

In food processor or in bowl with mixer, process
