Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies Recipe


Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies Recipe
These cookies are so addictive you wouldn't know they're not made with flour or sugar. Great for diabetics or those following a low carb diet.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour (crushed almonds) available in bulk food stores
  • 1 cup Splenda
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp butter flavored extract or DaVinci cookie dough flavored syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • Optional: Shredded non sweetened coconut
  • Optional: Raisins
  • Optional: Pecan pieces.

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Mix almond flour with Splenda, sifting until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, lightly beat egg and then mix well with extracts and softened butter.
  4. Add to dry ingredients and mix really well.
  5. Add optional coconut, raisins or pecan pieces if desired.
  6. Form dough into24 small balls.
  7. Space evenly on two ungreased non-stick cookie sheets (most cookie sheets will hold 12 cookies - 4 rows of 3, very evenly).
  8. Press moderately to flatten to a silver-dollar pancake size.
  9. Can sprinkle with Splenda if desired.
  10. Bake for approximately 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. They will slide right off the cookie sheet (no need for parchment paper).
  11. Cool 5 minutes before eating. Most people can't tell they are not the real thing (made with flour and sugar). These are soaddictive and go like wildfire! Makes 24 small cookies.

Question for ya...
What is DaVinci cookie dough syrup? I don't think I have heard of that...


It's a sugar free syrup made with Splenda. It's sold in the USA (I'm in Canad and had to order it online at a store that brings in low carb stuff from the USA). When I don't have DiVinci syrup I use the butter flavoured extract which is sold in the baking section of the grocery store or at the bulk food store. Often I have made these cookies without either the butter flavored extract or the DiVinci cookie dough syrup and they taste great.
