Healthy Sugar Cookies

I mentioned posting these cookies in one of my other posts and I really feel like I need to share. They are very good and healthy for you at the same time. We made them the night we painted pumpkins. These are from my friend Emily.

I actually added some food coloring to make them orange, I don't believe that makes them any less healthy. Then I rolled them out and cut them into pumpkins and cats for the kids. Once they were cut then I sprinkled the top with the cinnamon/pure cane sugar mix and the kids loved them! Such a benefit, because then you don't feel guilty about giving them a treat! Thanks Emily!

Simple Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup ground soft white wheat flour
1/2 cup pure cane sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
7 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon real maple syrup
1 egg replacer
cinnamon and cane sugar for coating

Directions:

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix wet ingredients in measuring cup (make sure they're blended well). Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Using hands, form dough into a big ball. (If it sticks together well, then its the right consistency. If not, then add a bit of water and mix it well.)

Form dough into cookie sized balls and roll into cinnamon/ cane sugar mixture. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each ball a little bit. Bake at 375 degrees for about 7 minutes.

And if you want to make cookie cutter type cookies...don't try to transfer them from one pan to the next...just in case you were thinking you might! They make about two full sheets of cookies, perfect for our little family but not quite enough if you want to share!

Good Luck
