Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Chip Cookies:

• 1 cup almond flour (112 g)
• 1/2 cup coconut flour (54 g)
• 1/2 cup powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener (90 g)
• 1 tsp xanthan gum
• 1/4 tsp salt (or 1/2 tsp if using unsalted butter)
• 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp salted butter, softened (150 g)
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk (reserve the egg white for later!)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 6 tbsp stevia-sweetened chocolate chips (85 g)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened (1/2 cup, 112 g)
• 5 tbsp powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener
• 1 tsp of the reserved egg white
• 1/8 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sweetener: In a separate bowl, beat together butter and sweetener until light and fluffy.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Combine Mixtures: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips and chill the dough in the fridge.
6. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Place cream cheese mixture in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
7. Assemble Cookies: Grease 2 cookie sheets. Scoop large balls of dough and form them into a ball shape. Make a well in the center and place a glob of cheesecake mixture inside. Form the cookie dough around the cheesecake and flatten slightly on the tray.
8. Bake: Bake for 11-13 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Let cool on the tray before lifting. They will firm up as they cool.
9. Storage: Store in an airtight container between layers of parchment or wax paper in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze and thaw/microwave for a quick snack.
