    These delicious Iced Sugar Cookies are simple to make with just a few simple ingredients and are sugar free, low carb and gluten free. These iced cookies are perfect for the holidays and all year long!

    Now that it's officially after Thanksgiving we can talk about holiday cookies, cakes, treats and cocktails all the time!

    Most of you know I follow a sugar free, gluten free diet and still enjoy eating sweets and desserts. I am excited to share these iced sugar cookies with you and knew I had to create these the moment I found these sugar free Christmas sprinkles!

    Aren't they so fun and festive? I am sure I will finish the whole bag before the holidays over between these cookies, cakes and whatever else I can put these babies on.

    There are so many wonderful, healthy holidays treats that I can share with you like my Almond Flour Thumbprint Cookies, Pecan Cheesecake Bars, One Bowl Blondies, Chocolate Mousse Cake and these Healthy Snickers Bars. These would be incredible with some Apple Chai Latte, Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Skinny Peppermint Eggnog, Cranberry Mojitos and some Spiked Apple Cider!

    Why You Should Make These Iced Sugar Cookies

    You shouldn't feel deprived during the holidays while trying to maintain a healthy sugar free lifestyle. I always bring some treats to parties and gatherings so I know I can enjoy at least one dessert guilt free.

    These beautiful cookies are perfect for holiday gifts too. Who doesn't love a homemade gift? And these iced sugar cookies will be ready in no time, the hardest part is waiting for them to chill in the refrigerator and bake in the oven.

    Recipe Ingredients

    Ingredients foe iced sugar cookies on a white background in individual clear glass bowls.
    • Almond flour - I use the super fine almond flour in all of my baked goods because it lends the lightest, ideal texture, especially in gluten free desserts.
    • Coconut flour - Coconut flour is light, naturally sugar free and low in carbs which makes it extremely versatile for low carb baking. I always use this coconut flour for my baking. I love baking with both almond and coconut flour for the perfect texture.
    • Monk fruit -  I used the granular form of Monk Fruit for this recipe. The brand I use all the time is this one. You can also substitute with the sugar free alternative of your choice.
    • Butter - I use 100% grass-fed butter because it just plain old tastes better!
    • Egg - I use cage free, organic eggs but you can use whatever you have in the house. Use eggs that are room temperature instead of ones straight out of the refrigerator for a better texture.
    • Vanilla extract - I use pure vanilla extract which doesn’t contain any artificial flavors or additives, it’s just pure vanilla made from alcohol. I use this one.
    • Heavy whipping cream - I use the Organic Whipping Cream from Trader Joe's that is located near the milk.
    • Sugar free sprinkles - I love these sugar free, gluten free sprinkles so much. They are so fun and festive and can be used for so many desserts!

    How To Make These Iced Sugar Cookies

    In a bowl add and mix the almond flour and the coconut flour. In another bowl add and beat the sugar, butter egg and vanilla extract.

    Recipe FAQ's and Expert Tips

    Can you freeze these cookies after you put the icing and sprinkles on them?

    Absolutely, these iced sugar cookies are freezer friendly! I wrap them in parchment paper and place in an airtight container or plastic bad and freeze for up to 3 months.

    Do we need to refrigerate the dough if we are running short on time?

    Yes, it is very important to refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes in order for the dough to completely come together and making it easier to cut out the dough.

    How do I know when these sugar cookies are done?

    The center of cookies should be soft, but set and not jiggly. The edges should be a light brown color.

    Notes

    The cookies will be very soft when they come out of the oven, so wait until they have cooled completely and hardened. (At least 20 minutes)
