Keto Cinnamon Cookies



I have taken some time off from the world of blogging and baking for the last bit; mainly to really focus on my weight loss.

I was stalled for about 2 months with no weight loss and during that time I was trying to cut so many things out of my diet in order to finally break the stall.  This meant no keto treats and no new recipes to try out.

Fortunately, I was finally able to break my stall and I finally got into the 140's!  That's right, the 150's are now a thing of the past (hopefully!)

These cookies are pretty basic, but delicious nonetheless.  They are similar to shortbread cookies, but with a hint of cinnamon that gives it a nice pop.  If you enjoyed my Cinnamon Muffin recipe, you are sure to enjoy this one as well!

The only helpful tip for this recipe would be to make sure you let them cool before taking them off the pan.  When hot, they are soft and will crumble easily, but give it ten minutes and they will firm up and you'll be able to lift them easily.

1/2 cup coconut flour1/4 cup cream cheese
1 egg
