Did you guys check out my Candy Cane Sugar Cookies? If you did I hope you loved them! The base dough from that recipe is just perfect for basic cutout sugar cookies. These Coconut Flour Cut-Out Sugar Cookies are grain, dairy, nut free and contain half the amount of sugar as other cut-out cookies. My husbands Grandmother’s sugar cookies are a favorite of his and even though these are not exactly the same he said with a little icing on top they would be perfect. I will take that as a compliment! These cookies cut out perfectly and can be topped with anything your heart desires. So, if icing is your jam go for it! I have not had much success with making “healthy” icing. Sometimes you just have to go for the real thing but with upgraded ingredients. If I was going to make icing for these cookies I would stick to a basic buttercream with grass fed butter and organic powdered cane sugar. It’s Christmas after all! If you prefer a simple, not too sweet sugar cookie then I would just sprinkle a little organic cane or coconut sugar on the top. Enjoy!
