Ingredients
  

  • 4 Ounces Cream Cheese
  • 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1/3 Cup Gold Monk Fruit Blend (Or your favorite brown sugar substitute)
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Cream of Tartar
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 Cup Vanilla Mölk
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Teaspoon Apple Flavoring
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Diced Apples (Optional)

Topping

  • 2 Tablespoons Monkfruit/Erythritol Blend
  • 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a stand mixer, cream the cream cheese, butter, and sweetener in a mixing bowl until you have a smooth creamy mixture.
  • Next, add the eggs one at a time and mix on low until everything has been evenly incorporated. You may have to stop the mixer and scrape the sides a time or two, to ensure everything has been mixed evenly.
  • Once the eggs are mixed in, add the gelatin, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, Mölk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Mix in the coconut flour, then add the chopped apples if using, and let the dough rest for about ten minutes to thicken.
  • In a small bowl combine the sweetener, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Roll the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, then roll them in the sugar mixture, and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
    Put a little bit of olive oil on the palm of your hands to help keep the dough from sticking. If the dough is still too sticky to roll, add another tablespoon or two of coconut flour.
  • Once you have your cookie sheet full of cookies,  lightly flatten the top of the cookies with the palm of your hand. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the tops have begun to crack and the edges have begun to brown. Remove from the oven, and let cool completely before removing from the pan.
