Sugar Cookies!

Macro Friendly Sugar Cookies!

Who else loves baking for the holidays growing up!? I know I did!! I have amazing memories of me and my mom rolling out dough balls for cut outs, making pies, and boiling chocolate for fudge. (Funny how your tastes change I can't stand fudge anymore!!) Christmas was especially always extra special because….it's my birthday!

Now I had a lot of favorites growing up but I'm not joking when I say sugar cookies (no frosting, I HATE frosting) were my favorite!!! Back then we used to call them "Butter Cookies" because I hated the frosting so much lol! When I go to parties or Wegmans and see the beautifully decorated confections with the glass like glaze I admire the beauty but my interest in eating them instantly wanes.

This recipe takes me back! All the sweet buttery taste with ¼ of the calories! Isn't it crazy how easy it is to over consume calories in America? No wonder I was obese growing up!

Even now as an adult I tell my mom what I want for my “birthday breakfast”, this year I have modified this very recipe to make white chocolate cranberry cookies which I fully intend to have four with my hot black coffee on my birthday! (The only time I like my coffee black is with a sweet treat!)

Unfortunately, this dough is sticky and the only way you could possibly roll it out is by adding more flour which would of course change the nutritional content, so if you don’t mind them not being Christmas trees and Santas then, I insist continue to read!

One big tip: always use parchment paper! I would encourage you to with any baking endeavor, easy clean up and no stick!

If you’re looking for that sugar cookie taste look no further this one is it! So without further ado here is my very simple, very delicious, all too macro friendly sugar cookie recipe!!🤤

This recipe is suitable for bariatric patients, vegetarians, body builders, anyone who is practicing moderation or just someone looking for a delicious macro friendly dessert recipe!
