INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup Butter, softened (1/2 stick)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla*
• 1 Egg
• 1/2 cup Almond Meal
• 1/2 cup Sugar Not™Spoonful™Natural Sugar Replacement with Fiber
• 1/2 cup Carb Counters™ Bakesquick™ - 1LB

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium size bowl, stir softened butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add egg and stir again. Add remaining dry ingredients and stir until well blended in. Note: if dough is a little too loose, add just a little more Bakesquick to get to desired cookie dough consistency. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2" apart on cookie sheet. Roll each one into a ball and press down to about 2" wide. Bake on center oven rack for 10-12 minutes. Cookies will still be very light in color. Makes 24 medium size (3" wide) cookies. Less than 1 net carb per cookie.

For coloring: Simply add a few drops of food coloring to dough and mix well.

*1/2 teaspoon almond or lemon flavoring may be sub'd for the vanilla for different flavored Sugar Not™ sugar cookies.
