12DOC: Day 3! Low Cal Sugar Cookies

Hey beauties! I recently found this amazing recipe for sugar cookies! They are super yummy and wait for it....54 calories per cookie!!! I know I know your thinking yeah right! But really there super yummy and you don't have to feel guilty if you have one!! The 54 calories does not include frosting, but as good as these are you don't need frosting!! Let's get started!


What you need:

1/4 cup Butter, softened
1/4 cup Baking stevia
1 Whole egg
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1 cup All purpose flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)
1/4 tsp Baking powder
1/8 tsp Salt



In a medium bowl, cream together butter, and sugar substitute with a mixer until fluffy. Add egg, and extracts and beat until combined. In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, until just combined. (Don’t over work dough or it will get tough). Wrap dough and place it back in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes, or until dough is cold.

When ready to cut cookies out, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, (or foil and spray with cooking spray). Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Place on baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.



And it's that easy!! If you try these out let me know in the comments below what you think of them!!
