Equipment
- Mini Muffin Tin
- Mixing Bowls
- Electric Mixer
Ingredients
Cookie Cups
- 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 large Egg
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 cup Swerve Confectioner's Sugar Substitute
- 6 tablespoons Melted Butter
Cream Cheese Filling
- 5 ounces Cream Cheese softened
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream at room temperature
- 1/3 cup Swerve Confectioner's Sugar Substitute for filling
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract for filling
- Christmas Sprinkles optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease the sections of a mini muffin tin – this ensures your cookie cups pop out easily!
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for your cookie cups (almond flour, baking powder, egg, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/3 cup Swerve, and melted butter) until everything is well blended and forms a nice, pliable dough.
- Gently press this dough into each section of your prepared mini muffin tin. Make sure to shape it up the sides to create a cup, and hollow out the center for your delicious filling.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until they look lightly golden and cooked through. Keep an eye on them so they don't over-brown!
- If any of your cookie cups puff up a bit too much during baking, just use the back of a small spoon (or the end of a wooden kitchen spoon) to gently press the center down right after taking them out of the oven. Let them cool completely in the tin before removing.
- While the cookie cups cool, whip up your creamy filling! In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, 1/3 cup Swerve, and 1 tsp vanilla until it's wonderfully smooth, creamy, and fluffy.
- Once your cookie cups are fully cooled, carefully remove them from the tin. Pipe or spoon this delightful cream cheese filling into each one. Finish with a sprinkle of festive Christmas sprinkles if you like, and they're ready to enjoy!
