Cookies:

1. Sift your almond flour and coconut flour and mix the it in with the sweetener, and salt until combined.

2. Turn the mixer to medium, then add the butter, 1 cube at a time, and mix until the dough looks crumbly and slightly wet for about 2 minutes.

3. Add the cream cheese, vanilla and almond extract and beat for another 30-60 seconds until the dough just begins to form large clumps, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

4.  Shape into a disc and wrap in plastic. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 35 minutes (or up to 2 days).

5. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. When ready to roll, remove and unwrap dough disc from the fridge.

6. Place a large piece of parchment paper on a flat surface. Place dough in the center. Place another large parchment paper on top of the dough and using your rolling pin, roll into 1/4 inch thickness and place the cookie dough sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes.

7. Remove the cookie dough sheet from the freezer and remove the top parchment paper. Cut into shapes with cutters of your choice. Place cut cookies on lined baking sheets, about 1 inch apart then place in the freezer again for 10 minutes. Repeat with any scraps.

8.  Bake cookies, one sheet at a time, on the middle rack for 13-17 minutes at  325° F, rotating the pan halfway, or until edges are light golden brown. 

9. Allow to cool fully, at room temperature. Frost or decorate cookies as desired.
