Description

These soft sugar cookies offer a delightful, guilt-free indulgence that fits perfectly into a low-carbohydrate lifestyle. The cookies themselves boast a remarkably soft and fluffy texture, reminiscent of classic sugar cookies but with a lighter profile. Their delicate crumb melts in your mouth, delivering a subtle sweetness that satisfies without being overpowering.

The recipe creates a dough that is easy to work with. You can use cookie cutters for different holidays and occasions. The simple round shape showcases the cookie's appealing texture.

To complement the soft cookie base, a luscious frosting is prepared using heavy cream and a powdered sweetener. This frosting spreads smoothly over each cookie, adding a layer of creamy richness and enhanced sweetness. The powdered sweetener dissolves seamlessly into the cream, creating a velvety texture that perfectly complements the cookie's crumb.

For an extra touch of whimsy and a delightful textural contrast, each frosted cookie is adorned with sugar-free sprinkles. These colorful sprinkles add a festive look and a satisfying crunch that elevates the entire experience. The sprinkles create a visually appealing cookie, perfect for parties or a simple treat.

These cookies maintain their delightful texture and flavor for up to three days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. This makes them ideal for preparing ahead of time for gatherings or enjoying throughout the week. For longer storage, these cookies can be frozen for up to three months.

This allows you to have a sweet treat on hand whenever a craving strikes. For the best results, a powdered erythritol is recommended. Its fine texture ensures a smooth and consistent sweetness throughout both the cookie and the frosting.

Avoid if following a strict Paleo diet. These cookies offer a delightful treat that can be enjoyed anytime.

Instructions

    1.
    Cream the salted butter, cream cheese, xanthan gum, and powdered sweetener for 5-7 minutes. Cream these ingredients for the full length of time as it ensures a very light and fluffy cookie. Ensure all the ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter and cream cheese, to aid in this process.
    2.
    Next, add in the almond flour, kosher salt, and vanilla extract. Then cream the almond flour in for 2-3 minutes. Divide the dough in half and wrap each in plastic wrap.
    3.
    Form each into a disk shape and chill for 30 minutes to one hour. You want to make sure the dough is properly chilled as the dough is sticky. The dough should stay chilled during the entire rolling and cutting process.
    4.
    Preheat an oven to 350 F. Once the dough is chilled, roll each dough disc out to a thickness. Then, cut the dough using a 2 to 2 round cookie cutter. Place the cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
    5.
    Chill the baking sheet with the cookies on for 10 minutes. You want to be sure the dough stays chilled throughout the entire process so the dough is easy to work with. If it begins to warm, roll up the dough and chill or freeze until firm again. Then bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes until puffed and very lightly golden brown. Allow them to cool most of the way on the cookie sheet, then remove them to a cooling rack.
    6.
    In the meantime, combine the remaining ingredients to make the frosting. Once the cookies are cooled. Use a small spatula to spread frosting over the top of each cookie. Add sugar-free sprinkles on top.
