Holiday Traditions

I loved making these cookies. It’s fun to be festive with these little holidays with my kids. They really do enjoy all these little festive treats and traditions.

Growing up, baking sugar cookies with my mom, was like a right of passage. I was always excited for the next little holiday to pop up during the year. Because, I knew it was time to pick out my favorite cookie cutter and get to work!

I came up with these recipe, by altering my moms famous ‘cut out sugar cookie’ recipe, that we made time and time again. I didn’t want to have to give up this fun tradition, just because of my new eating lifestyle.

So, I decided to alter this recipe to fit my new eating lifestyle. That’s how these keto clover “sugar” cookies got their inspiration! I can’t wait for you to try them out!

The Keto “Sugar” Cookie Recipe

Using my hand mixer, works really great, for a lot of my low carb baking recipes! This makes, these recipes quick and easy to start! The dough whips up pretty quickly, and I like to multi task and make the frosting while the dough is refrigerating.

My mixing bowls, definitely come in handy for this part. Since, I have multiple sizes. Then, I was able to use one of my kid’s baby spoons, because it made for the perfect clover petal.

I just baked the cookies on my awesome baking sheets, and allowed them plenty of cooling time on my cooling rack. You definitely want to give them time to cool, so the frosting sticks nicely!

You can use a zip lock bag and bite the tip, to pipe the frosting, or you can use a cheap piping bag. You can also, keep it plain and just skip the frosting all together. These cookies still taste delicious, even without the frosting!
