Who doesn’t love a good sugar cookie?
There are those topped with sugar, sprinkles, icing…and then there is the debate on chewy versus crunchy! All are so delish!
My kids love a good cookie, and honestly, so do I! I went through a few recipes for a low carb, sugar-free version and finally came across this awesome low carb sugar cookie recipe.
The only thing I didn’t use was the xanthum gum, and not on purpose… I was under the weather while making these and you know, when your head is full, you can’t quite see straight. Well this mistake turned out to be a good one, because OMG, melt in your mouth, amazingness! These cookies are the perfect mix of nutty and sweet.
I whipped up a bit of homemade icing and sprinkled some of my homemade sprinkles that were used in my chocolate peppermint bark.
Low Carb Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
Cookies
2 cups almond flour
1 tbsp coconut flour
¼ tsp salt
6 tbsp butter, softened (I use Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks to make the cookies non dairy)
½ cup Swerve, granulated
1 large egg
½ tsp vanilla extract
instructions:
Cookies
-
In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, and salt.
-
Beat butter and Swerve in a large bowl, until creamy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
-
Add in almond flour mixture and mix until dough forms.
-
Turn out dough onto parchment paper, and roll out to about 1/3-inch thickness.
- Chill dough for an hour.
-
Preheat oven to 325F and line another baking sheet with parchment.
-
Using cookie cutters of your choice, cut out cookies and place at least 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet.
-
Re-roll your dough and cut out more cookies (if your dough gets too soft, place in the freezer for 5 mins).
-
Bake 12 to 14 minutes, or until brown around the edges.
-
Let cool on pan.
Icing
- Mix Swerve and milk together with a fork until it looks like icing.
