Ingredients
  

DOUGH

FILLING

  • 1 6 oz container of vegan cream cheese
  • 1/16 tsp of pure stevia** powder or 3 packets of stevia

Instructions
 

  • First, make the flax egg by mixing the ground flax and water then let sit 5 minutes.
  • In another bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together, then add the rest of the wet ingredients (including the prepared flax egg) until dough is smooth.
  • Chill in the fridge for 10-30 minutes,
  • Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing the cream cheese with stevia**
  • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto parchment lined cookie pan, flatten like a disk, then top with 1-2 Tbsp of cream cheese filling then use another 2-3 tablespoon of cookie dough (also flattened like a disk) to cover filling entirely.
  • Bake in oven 350F for about 13-15 or until slightly golden with browned cookie base.
  • Let cool before eating and store in fridge to eat later.

Notes

*Coconut, date and maple sugars are less processed granulated sugars I would recommend. Honey and maple syrup should also work, but I have not yet tried. For keto options, you could also use stevia (but stevia differs by brand/ form, so you’ll have to convert according to package instructions).
** I use stevia because I only have to add a little to sweeten the cream cheese filling (which keeps the filling thick). But for a paleo friendly option, you could use 1 tsp of coconut, maple or date sugar instead.
