How to make sugar-free sugar cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup sugar-free sweetener (we recommend Stevia)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: sugar-free sprinkles or icing for decoration

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cream butter and sweetener: In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar-free sweetener until light and fluffy.
4. Add wet ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Mix dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to firm up.
6. Shape cookies: Scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and flatten them gently with a fork or your fingers.
7. Bake: Bake the sugar-free sugar cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
8. Cool and decorate: Let the sugar-free sugar cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, decorate with sugar-free sprinkles or icing.

There you have it – a guilt-free, sugar-free sugar cookie recipe that allows you to indulge in the classic sweet delight without worrying about excess sugar. These are perfect for special occasions, holiday gatherings, or anytime you crave a wholesome treat. Happy baking!
