Non-Sugar, Sugar Cookies!



What do you mean there's no sugar!?  Hell to the YEA! I have been searching for a delicious way to make cookies that I can enjoy without suffering from a sugar hangover!
ALAS, Columbus has reached Ammurica!

COOKIES!!!!

  • 3/4 cup GF flour/ Coconut Flour (which is GF)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt (just under level)
  • 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup xylitol (sugar-free sugar)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter sub, such as Soy Free Earth Balance or Coconut Oil
Combine dry ingredients and mix very, very well. In a separate bowl, melt the vegan butter, then stir in vanilla and milk. Pour dry into wet and mix again. Form balls or roll out.  Cook @ 325 degrees for 8-10 minutes.  Cool for 5 minutos.
Now it's time to FROST THE COOKIES!!!! 

Sugar-Free Powdered Sugar
  • 1 cup xylitol
  • optional 1-2 tsp arrowroot or cornstarch to prevent clumping when stored 
Whip the ingredients in a blender.  Done.

Icing:

Combine 1 cup of the above powdered sugar with 1 1/2 tbsp milk of choice and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract. Use in place of regular powdered sugar icing, on cookies or cupcakes, etc.
For icing you need: SF powdered sugar, milk of choice, vanilla extract
