How to make Sugar Free Sugar Cookies

 
This recipe works best if the dough is made and then refrigerated for a couple of hours. This is especially true if you plan on using cookie cutters with it. However, you could just roll these out and flatten them to bake immediately.

  • Start by sifting together your baking soda, baking powder and flour in a bowl. Set this aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, creme together the butter and sugar alternative.
  • Once the butter and sugar alternative is creamed together, add the egg, vanilla extract ,and milk and mix for about 10 seconds until somewhat mixed in.
  • Slowly pour in half of the contents from the first bowl (flour etc), mix for a few seconds and then add the remaining contents from the first bowl.
  • Cover the dough and refrigerate the dough for at least a couple of hours. You can skip this step if you are simply going to roll the cookies into a ball and press them flat for baking.
  • When you are ready to bake the cookies, Preheat your oven to 350 and prep a pan for nonstick.
  • Roll out the dough (a portion at a time works best) and cut into shapes, use a cookie press, or simply place flattened balls onto the pan.You can use a cookie press like one of these. Or, you can use a cookie cutter, such as one of these cookie cutters, to make a special cookie as well.
  • Bake these cookies for about 12 minutes or until they begin to brown. For an option, you can sprinkle additional sugar over the cookies after about 10 minutes of baking.

    Hi, could I use no salt butter?

    • Sugar Free Diva

      November 29, 2018 at 9:22 am

      You certainly could. Some folks only use the no salt butter and then add a bit of salt to the mixing bowl instead. Thanks!

    Hi, I hope you are doing well. How do I take a plain sugar cookie recipe into a sugar free recipe? If it calls for 3/4 cup of sugar do I use 3/4 cup on Splenda.

    • Sugar Free Diva

      December 3, 2018 at 3:05 pm

      Hi. I always recommend reading the package of the sugar alternative that you are using. Look for the volume equivalence of that product to sugar. For example, the Splenda Granular that I use is 1:1 with sugar- if a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar than use 1 cup of that Splenda granular. Thanks so much!!

    This sugar cookie recipe calls for 2/3 cup of shortening, do I sub for something else?

    • Sugar Free Diva

      Butter will give the best taste, in my opinion, and will hold the cookie together. However, using an alternative, such as margarine or a similar fat, would probably work okay. The cookie may be a bit loose or flat however. Thanks!

    hI, after I mix the dough could I drop instead of using cookie cutters.

    • Sugar Free Diva

      December 15, 2018 at 12:24 pm

      Hi.
      I would simply roll the dough into small balls and then flatten each ball on the baking sheet for baking. The size of each ball would depend on the size of the cookie that you desire. thanks!

    cookies were great but I could taste toomuch butter, could I cut butter down

    • TheSugarFreeDiva

      December 20, 2018 at 8:58 am

      Hi. I would try substituting some apple sauce or perhaps banana for some of the butter. While you could cut some of the butter out of the recipe, the cookies may turn out a bit dry as a result. I would try to balance this out with something moist. thanks!

    on your oatmeal cookies can I omit the raisins and use nuts?

    • TheSugarFreeDiva

      December 20, 2018 at 8:56 am

      Hi. I think that nuts would probably taste great in this recipe. Let me know how the cookies turn out.
      Thanks!
