I have baked quite a few cookies. The very first time when I bought my oven cookies is the one I got hooked up to. I tried various varieties of cookies and was somehow addicted to them. At one point I realized my weakness and tried hard to keep myself away from the cookie craze.
Since then I try and find occasions to bake cookies. This Christmas season is like a Jackpot and not to be missed. Unlike earlier I kind of shifted towards a healthier lifestyle. I try to avoid refined flour and sugar in my food. But when kids demand I try but I cut my intake.
so one day when I got some serious sugar cravings tried this amazing sugar-free or say no white sugar cookie with Wheat flour. I am not allergic to gluten so I take it. We can replace wheat flour with Almond flour for a gluten free cookie. But add an egg or an egg replacement along.
