4 Ingredients Home Made Healthy Sugar Cookies

December 24, 2014 by Irina 19 Comments

These healthy sugar cookies are crisp on the outside and a little chewy inside, perfect consistency in my opinion. Whether you're welcoming kids from school, baking a treat for Santa or enjoying the evening for yourself, these healthy sugar cookies are just right.

4 Ingredient Sugar Cookies to bake for Santa!

Only 4 simple ingredients are needed. I used almond flour because it is naturally sweeter than whole wheat flour, a great way to cook with limited carbs and tastes great!

My 8 y.o. helped me prep and bake them. Both of my kids and hubby loved the cookies. Few other batches that I baked later, I tweaked them and you can add raisins, dried cranberries, chocolate chips and almonds or pecans, so feel free to give them a try as well.

Please save this photo-pin below (Pinterest-friendly pin). If you’re not making these cookies right now, it will be easy to find later.

4-Ingredient Low carb Keto cookiesHealthy Sugar Cookies Ingredients: Makes 12 medium size cookies - 4 Basic Ingredients, but as you can see I listed six (Vanilla extract and salt is optional and highly recommended)

2 cups Almond Flour

⅓ cup coconut oil

½ cup Coconut Palm Sugar. (You can sub for granulated sweetener of your choice)

1 Egg

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Pinch of sea salt or Himalayan Pink Salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F degrees (180 Celsius)

Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well all together for 1-2 minutes

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Place large rounded tablespoon onto baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Flatten slightly.

Bake until set and edges are golden brown. (about 15 minutes)

The nutritional facts

150 cal per cookie. This is based on 12 cookies and regular brown sugar. If you substitute with granulated sweetener of your choice, your macros may be lower:  9g carb, 4g sugar, 11g fat, 5g protein, 25mg potassium. This is calculated without chocolate chips or nuts being added.

Cranberry pecan low carb keto cookiesRecipe notes:

You can substitute coconut palm sugar for a granulated sweetener of your choice

To avoid almond flour while still enjoy the cookies low carb, you can sub for Carbquik baking mix or Caulipower baking mix.

    I really like the recipes I've found. Is a site for all of the recipes for thebigapplemama.com? It's kind of confusing to find them. KH

    Hi Irina. I tried your recipe for the sugar cookies, (4 ingredient, healthy) and all I can say is WOW! I used the vanilla and salt, as highly recommended, plus I added some chopped pecans and Lily's dark chocolate stevia sweetend chips. Thank you for your dedication to giving out your fantastic and healthy recipes for others to enjoy ! God bless❤️

    Question, under the first Sugar Cookie ingredients you have 1/3 cup of coconut oil but later under the clip or healthy ingredient list you've posted 1/4 cup of coconut oil, which is correct?
