Sugar free coconut cookies

Here is another sugar free cookie recipe, I have created inspired by many different cookie recipes. I made these sugar free by substituting the sugar with rice syrup and adding some other ingredients to get the right consistency.

Sugar free cookies

I am a huge cookie fan, especially in the Christmas time. There is Kristina’s bakery open at least for few week, before Christmas. This is how I get into the festive mood. With cookies in the oven and the Christmas music running in the kitchen. I usually bake cookies loaded with huge amounts of sugar. But this year I decided to give sugar free cookies a try.

I found two amazing sugar free cookie recipes on I Quit Sugar website. I first tried to bake Gingerbread cookies, these are not only sugar free, but also gluten free! I topped it with some creamed coconut, rice syrup mix and ground pistachios. You can find the recipe here:

Furthermore, I tried the Sugar free Christmas Cake recipe, I found in the I Quit Sugar Simplicious book. As I wanted to make something  I can give away as a Christmas gift, I changed the appearance of this cake a little bit. I baked it in a cone baking dish and created tiny Christmas cakes topped with 99% chocolate and some pistachios.

The recipe you can find here:

These recipes are great not only for the Christmas time. I am sure you have some sweet tooth for cookies all year round. You just need to change the shape of these beauties and you have a yummy birthday gift or just something as a weekend treat.

Happy Christmas everyone!
