Table of Contents
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or stevia blend)
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) almond flour (or all-purpose flour for a traditional version)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar substitute together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
Step 3: Shape and Bake
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Lightly press each ball down with a fork or the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Enjoy them warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Tips for the Best Zero Sugar Cookies
- Use a Good Sugar Substitute: Erythritol, monk fruit, or a stevia blend work best for baking.
- Don’t Overmix: Overworking the dough can make the cookies dense instead of tender.
- Chill for Thicker Cookies: If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Add Flavor: A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the taste.
