The BEST Sugar-Free Sugar Cookies! They are soo delish! Vegan, low-carb, gluten-free, oil-free, low-fat, dairy-free & low-calorie - only 66 calories each!
Here are those cookies I was talking about in my Sugar-Free Frosting post!
Top these babies with some of that, and you will be reeling in sweet happy sugar-cookie bliss.
Sugar cookies are one of my faves.
Always have been!I used to eat those terrible (but amazing) sugar cookies from the grocery store with the pink and yellow frosting - do y'all know what I'm talking about?
The ones with sprinkles on top?
They are probably so artificial that they are made of plastic and in a laboratory somewhere.
Anyway, these are just as good.
Not the same (of course - how could I seriously replicate those?!!) but so so so yummy.

I'm loving the sound of these sugar free cookies with oats and chick peas..Do you think you could make them without the swerve and the applesauce would be sweet enough?
Hi Stephanie!
I don't think the applesauce would make them sweet enough (but I have an extreme sweet tooth :D) I would try substituting in another kind of sugar or sugar alternative 🙂
Warmly,

At 11 carbs (9net) this in no way constitutes a low carb cookie.
Hi Pati!
I was going by the definition that something is considered "low" in a particular nutrient if it has less than 5% of the daily value (http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/food-and-nutrition/faq-20058436). For carbohydrates, 5% is 15g of carbohydrate. In using this definition, I have received many comments similar to yours, and I apologize for the confusion!!!
I appreciate your comment! And thank you for reading this post 🙂
Warmly,
Annie
Hey Annie,
Could I replace the apple sauce with pumpkin puree? And use carbquik instead of Oats?
Looking to cut out all sugar and lower the carb count. 🙂 Thanks!
Hi Sarah!
I'm sure it would work if you replaced the applesauce but it might have a slight pumpkin flavor (sounds pretty delicious to me actually!). I have never used carbquik so I have no idea how it would work, but if you try it I'd love to hear how it went!!
Thanks so much for your comment 🙂
Annie
The cookies looks iced. Where is the recipe for the icing? Thank you!
Hi Bonnie! The link is at the beginning of the post! I will put it in the ingredients/method section too - thanks for letting me know that it's not easily accessible!!! Here it is: https://www.vegannie.com/recipes/sugar-free-frosting
Hope you love these as much as I do!!! 🙂
Sorry, I went back and read it from the beginning. 🙂
HI!!! Quick question...can I sub out the chickpeas (cannot tolerate any beans) with something? Coconut flour, protein powder, oat fiber, peanut flour??? or a mix of these?? and in what quantities? What is your professional opinion? 🙂 Loving all your recipes. Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us. I was 75% raw vegan for 10 years but had to incorporate meat due to some health issues but veganism is still in my blood and I do prefer it!
Hi Keri! Hmmmm... I would try doing 1/4 cup pureed extra firm tofu. If the batter is runny then I would add in any of the options you listed one tablespoon at a time! And thank you sooooo much for your kind words!!! You are so sweet! Vegan is so not for everyone - it's all just about balance and incorporating all of the foods that make us feel GOOD!!! Good luck with the cookies - would love to hear how they turn out if you do make some substitutions!
