Directions
1. In a bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese and erythritol (or your sugar substitute) using a mixer.
2. Add the vanilla extract and egg. Beat until smooth.
3. Add the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt and beat until well combined. The mixture should be a bit sticky.

Amazing and super easy to make!!! If you sprinkle some pumpkin pie spice it is a complete game changer!
I feel like the ratios were off. Coconut flour holds way more liquid than 1 egg. My cookies were totally crumbly.
Great very delicious!!!!!
They’re delicious. Should I refrigerate them?
