Sugar-free Christmas cookies let you enjoy holiday baking without the guilt. They’re perfect for anyone following a low-sugar or keto diet, and they make a thoughtful gift for loved ones who are health-conscious.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups of almond flour

  • ½ teaspoon of baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional, for a festive flavor)

  • ¼ teaspoon of salt

  • ½ cup of unsalted butter (softened) or coconut oil

  • ½ cup of a sugar substitute like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

  • For decorating:
  • Sugar-free icing or melted sugar-free chocolate

  • Sprinkles made without sugar (optional)

Directions

  • Mix the Dough: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
    In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter (or coconut oil) and the sugar substitute until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  • Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling makes it easier to roll out and cut into shapes.
  • Roll and Cut: Lightly dust your work surface with almond flour and roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick. Use your favorite holiday-themed cookie cutters to create fun shapes like stars, trees, or bells. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies for 8–10 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake them. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Decorate: Once the cookies are cool, decorate them with sugar-free icing or drizzle with melted sugar-free chocolate. You can also sprinkle them with sugar-free decorations for an extra festive touch.

Notes

  • Almond flour keeps these cookies soft and chewy. If you prefer a crispier texture, try adding a bit of coconut flour to the mix.
  • For a vegan option, replace the egg with a flaxseed or chia seed egg (1 tablespoon of seeds mixed with 2 ½ tablespoons of water).
