Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar substitute (like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract (optional)
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar substitute until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes to make it easier to work with.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or with your fingers to achieve a classic cookie shape.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your sugar-free sugar cookies!
