HEALTHIER EASY SUGAR COOKIES
I love this recipe. I could eat at least ten in one sitting which is why I exchanged some butter with non-fat plain yogurt. They still taste great and I feel a lot better about eating so many.

Tips for Making Very Low Calorie Sugar Cookies
- Use a sugar substitute: Sugar substitutes like erythritol, xylitol, or stevia can be used to replace sugar in the recipe, reducing the overall calorie count.
- Use whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour is a healthier alternative to all-purpose flour and provides more fiber and nutrients.
- Add some protein powder: Protein powder can be added to the dough to boost the protein content and make the cookies more filling.
- Use unsweetened almond milk: Unsweetened almond milk is a low-calorie alternative to regular milk and can be used to make the dough.
- Bake the cookies for a shorter amount of time: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them for just until the edges are golden brown.
