Low-sugar Sugar Cookies? An oxymoron? Maybe, but a delicious one at that.

Usually when I make a recipe I’m like “ok naxT”. But I’ve made these cookies twice already so that’s saying something 👌 So easy, so good!

I decided to use grain-free flour 🧐 I picked some “cassava flour” up at the store and wanted to try something new? 🤷‍♀️ Naturally gluten-free y’all.

BUT you can use any non-low-carb flour instead (anything but almond/coconut flour). Regular all purpose will work great for example.

Let me know if you give these a try before I go ahead and bake a third batch. They legit melt. in. your. mouth.

Calories: 83kcal

4 tbsp (plant) butter, softened (56 g) sub regular butter
1/2 cup sugar (96 g)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup cassava flour or all purpose flour (120 g) sub any flour other than almond or coconut
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2-3 tbsp (nut) milk I use unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles (30 g)

Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment.
In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer cream together butter and sugar.
Add vanilla, salt, flour, baking soda (mix baking soda into the flour a little first) and mix until a crumbly mixture is formed.
Add enough milk 1 tbsp at a time to form a non-sticky soft cookie dough.
Add sprinkles and mix a few more turns.
Scoop on the parchment and shape how you like (they won’t spread) and bake 10 minutes.
Let cookies cool and firm up before enjoying!
Store in a slightly open container in room temperature.
