SUGAR-FREE CHRISTMAS COOKIES

I bring you another sweet Christmas recipe, but as always, sugar-free, they are Christmas cookies, very easy to prepare, to have a good time in the kitchen. Whether you have children or not, these cookies are a delight that you can prepare in a moment, have your most Christmas molds ready and don’t think twice, try to make them because you will like them. Let’s start at the beginning, so that there is no confusion, cookies are not the ideal food but they are not a problem if consumed occasionally. I propose this idea for breakfasts these days, I think they are more suitable for the first meal of the day than for a dessert, mainly because they are very filling and provide a lot of fiber, that’s why I think they can be a good complement to a full breakfast.

These cookies can be a complement to your Christmas breakfasts.

 

The ingredients in these cookies are ground almonds, ground oats, coconut flour, egg, milk, and butter.

Also, a little vanilla essence, and if you really like, a little ground cinnamon, I didn’t add any because I wanted the flavor of the butter to predominate.

They need a sweetener, you can use the one you like best, I recommend steviol or erythritol, or a mixture of both.

They are not crunchy cookies, they are more like those that melt when you bite into them, getting them to come out right was quite difficult for me, the difficulty is that they are not too dry, but that the dough has consistency.

I have already mentioned this many times, making gluten-free cookies at home is not easy at all, the flours I usually use tend to retain a lot of liquid and the result is usually not crispy.

 

 

These oatmeal cookies provide a characteristic flavor and texture, they taste like butter and vanilla, with milk, tea or coffee they are a delight.

They keep very well for 4 or 5 days, so you can make a good quantity and store them in a lunch box.

No You need many ingredients and the preparation is very easy, it all started on December 22nd, my daughter told me that Santa Claus deserved something good, a reward when he came home exhausted to leave the gifts.

Given such a statement, I had to find a good solution, so we made these delicious cookies that surely met the expectations of our expected guests.

Reindeer, according to her, are easier to please, with some good carrots and water, everything solved.

In reality, the recipe for these cookies is for simple oatmeal cookies, gluten-free and sugar-free, but when using Christmas molds they become a nice detail for these dates.

 

To prepare these Christmas cookies you need some special cookie cutters and decoration.

 

Using Christmas-shaped cookie cutters and decorating with icing are important; it’s what makes them Christmas cookies. Otherwise, they would just be plain oatmeal and butter cookies.

The icing is also very easy to make, with milk (cow’s or vegetable), a starch (I use tapioca starch, but you can use corn or rice flour), vanilla essence, and a little gelatin.

You have to cook the milk, dissolve the starch, and cook until it thickens. Add the vanilla essence and the previously soaked gelatin leaf, let it cool, and pour the mixture into a baby bottle.

You have to leave it in the refrigerator for a few hours to thicken, and when the cookies are cold and set, decorate them.

To prepare them, I used the same recipe than these Sugar-free butter cookies

This time I needed to make more cookies, so I doubled the amount of ingredients and the result was just as good.

 

Sugar-free Christmas cookies are a healthier option than classic cookies.

 

Warning!:

• These cookies are NOT like the conventional “Digestive” cookies that we buy in stores.
• They are not crunchy, they are rather soft.
• TheThe sweetness level depends on the amount of sweetener you add. I don’t add much, just enough to make them tasty, but never too sweet.
• They have a vanilla glaze that is also sweet.
• They will keep for up to a week, stored in a well-covered lunch box.
• You can substitute the oat flour (ground oats) for rice flour, for a milder flavor.

 

 

I leave you the recipe below so you can prepare them at home whenever you want.
