Sugar Cookies Are Fun To Make With The Family
You’ve heard stories, and maybe even reminisce about your own childhood days in the kitchen, cutting out sugar cookies with a variety of cookie cutters.
It seems to be a tradition in many families to cut out sugar cookies with their kids during the holidays.
My boys were so excited to pick out the cookie cutter of their choice and press it into the cookie dough to make the shape of an animal or gingerbread man.
There’s something special about having fun together as a family.
I cherish the times when my kids help me in the kitchen!

Not Crazy About Sugar Cookies?
Some people do not prefer a “boring” plain sugar cookie.
If this is you, then a delicious, low carb chocolate chip cookie may just be the thing!
Baking And Cooling Low Carb Treats
These cookies only take roughly ten to twelve minutes to bake.
One important step you won’t want to skip is this: do not try to take the hot cookies off of the cookie tray right out of the oven.
Because low carb cookies are not made with regular flour and such, they tend to be a little softer, so allow them to cool for about 20 minutes on the pan itself.
Once cooled completely, these low carb sugar cookies are perfect to handle
Are Sugar Cookies Supposed To Be Sweet?
That sounds like an oxi-moron, right?
Honestly, why wouldn’t sugar cookies be sweet?
Everyone has different taste buds and loves their sugar cookies sweeter or not so sweet as the next person.
I chose to use a little less sweetener than the “normal” sugar cookie would call for.
Why? Well, the icing is rather sweet and really balances out the sweetness of the entire cookie!
This recipe is in your hands, though, so add more or less sweetener if you wish.
What Icing Can I Spread On These Low Carb Sugar Cookies?
You can use any low carb, sugar free icing for these cookies.
The icing recipe I used is very simple…literally three ingredients.
