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!

If making gluten free, why not use a gluten free pastry flour? Wouldn’t that be more like the gluten ones?
Brenda
This recipe was published back in 2012 and I've not worked on adapting it but sure gluten free pastry flour would work.
Anne
Hi! was wondering if it'd be weird or possible to sub oat flour (ground oatmeal) instead of the other flours? It's one of the only things that doesn't give me inflammation. Thanks so much and love your stuff!!!
Brenda
I think that would work.

I always see yummy looking recipes but there will be something odd as an ingredient I've never heard of such as Liquid Vanilla Stevia. I 've never seen that even in the store. And to go traipsing around in Brookshires or WF trying to find it is wayyy too much trouble. Try to keep to ingredients that most people have in their cupboards. Or give us a substitute.

Just a thought for those who had problems with binding , you
Could try adding a little xanthan gum maybe 1/4 teaspoon.
I am useing a combination of almond flour , regular all purpose flour and Triticale . I got this at a farm show and have Been wanting to use it so here goes, wish me luck
Sara
I don’t like the chemical taste of Stevia so I used a half a cup of coconut sugar instead. YUM!
Jeremy
This was a mess! No liquids how do you expect to bind. I added more shortening and no binding. What a catastrophe
Brenda
Which type of flour did you use. Eggs are enough of a binding agent to work in this recipe as you can see from my photos.
