Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensure it is at room temperature for easier blending.
- 1 cup sugar substitute (like erythritol or stevia) Choose according to preference.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or almond flour for a low-carb option) Almond flour yields a denser cookie.
- 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 piece egg (optional, for added richness) Omit if making egg-free cookies.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar substitute until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Mix in the alcohol-free vanilla extract and the egg (if using) until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending gently until everything is just combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Use a fork or your hand to flatten the cookies slightly.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for extended freshness. Layer with parchment paper if freezing to prevent sticking.
