Strawberry Shortcookies

Ingredients:
1 cup Butter
1 8oz. package Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Coconut Flour
1 1/2 cup Almond Flour
1/2 cup Truvia
2 drops Ez-Sweetz
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Toppings:
Cool Whip (Don’t get diet Cool Whip it has more carbs!)
Strawberries - chopped

Directions:
Throw all that stuff (minus the toppings) into a mixing bowl and beat with a mixer until it’s all stirred together. Plop tablespoon sized blobs down onto an un-greased cookie sheet. Throw those suckers into the oven that is 350 degrees and wait about 10 minutes.
If it’s only a little golden on the edges give it a few more minutes. Once it’s golden on the edges and a bit on the top press them a bit with a spatula and broil on High for just a 2-5 minutes. Then take them out and let them cool.

These will be almost biscuit-like (like shortbread, thus the name shortcookies) and they crumble very easily. Serve them up with a dollop of Cool Whip and some strawberries and you have a healthy dessert… or breakfast if you like to abuse your grown up powers like me.
