Here's the Dish
Method
The estimated total time to make this recipe is 1-2 hours.
1
In a medium bowl, cream together butter, and sugar substitute with a mixer until fluffy. Add egg, and extracts and beat until combined. In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, until just combined. (Don’t over work dough or it will get tough). Wrap dough and place it back in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes, or until dough is cold.
2
When ready to cut cookies out, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, (or foil and spray with cooking spray). Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Place on baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
Ingredients
| 1/4 cup | Butter, softened |
| 1/4 cup + 2 tbs | Baking stevia OR 3/4 cup sweetener of choice that measures like sugar 1 |
| 1 | Whole egg |
| 1/2 tsp | Vanilla extract |
| 1/2 tsp | Almond extract (or an additional 1/2 tsp vanilla extract) |
| 1 cup | All purpose flour (or whole wheat pastry flour) |
| 1/4 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1/8 tsp | Salt |
1 I used NuNaturals More Fiber Stevia Baking Blend. If using packets of stevia, I recommend using about 9-12, or adjust according to taste.
Katie's Tip!
While you are working with the dough, if it gets difficult to work with, it’s because the butter in the dough is too warm, an easy fix is to place the dough in the freezer for about 5 minutes, or until it’s cold again, and it will roll out and cut into shapes nicely again! Nutrition Breakdown

Hi Katie!
First off, I’ve got to tell you that I’m so glad that I’m stumbled into your blog. Secondly, are you, by any chance, Chocolate-Covered Katie? Third, (this time it’s a REAL question. XD) can I substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour? If so, what differences will it make? I’m okay with the cookies being chewier or denser, by the way. :)
Thanks!

I just made these with a mini ‘teddy graham’ cookie cutter and it was so yummy! Hubby didn’t even know they were Low-cal :)

hey nicole, not sure about spelt flour, and ww would work, but it may make for a tougher cookie, ww pastry flour is ligher, and makes for a soft cookie! :)
