Sugar Free Sugar Cookies with a gluten free option!
Who doesn't love sugar cookies during the holidays? These are made without sugar and you can use any flour of choice to suit your needs. I've made them originally with whole wheat and now gluten free as well. Both are equally delicious!
Don't these look pretty? And they taste great too! Made with whole wheat pastry flour and sweetened with stevia, there is absolutely NO aftertaste. Easy to make cut out shapes with your kids and even frost if you like. Nice and flaky with a perfect amount of sweetness!
If you're used to the texture of a softer sugar cookie than these wouldn't be the ones to make. Check my Whole Wheat Refined Sugar Free Cookies instead sweetened with sucanat which is still alot healthier and better for your family than white sugar any day.
My VERY picky hubby who really doesn't like many of ,my sugar free desserts and prefers all white flour and sugar products actually said these were good! That my friends is AMAZING!
Either sugar cookie you choose everyone will enjoy them and you can feel good about serving them and eating them yourself! They certainly won't hurt your calorie budget for the day as one of these is only 80 calories!
Happy Holidays!
