The healthy fat found in the butter, egg, and almond flour, including the fiber, will help to keep hunger and cravings away.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter (softened)
- 3 oz. full-fat cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated Monk Fruit Sweetener
- 1 large whole egg
- 3 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tbsp sour cream
- 3 cups blanched almond flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a mixer to beat together the butter, cream cheese, and sweetener, until it’s fluffy and light in color.
- Beat in the vanilla extract, salt and egg. Add in sour cream
- Beat in the almond flour, 1/2 cup at a time. (The dough will be dense and a little crumbly, but should stick when pressed together)
- Use a medium cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tbsp,) to scoop balls of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. Flatten with your palm.
- Bake for 18 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool completely in the pan before serving.
Water is Necessary to Burn Fat
Without water, the body cannot properly metabolize stored fat or carbohydrates.
The process of metabolizing fat is called lipolysis. If weight loss is your goal, drink half your body weight in ounces daily.#weightloss #fatloss #hydrate #water pic.twitter.com/dBmEz4Nzjc
