Sugar Free Sugar Cookies With Sugar Free Sugar Icing Food

NO-SUGAR SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl using an electric mixer, blend butter, Splenda® Sweetener, and vanilla extract on medium speed.
• Add egg substitute, water, and vinegar and mix briefly.
• Add flours, salt, and baking powder. Mix on low speed until dough is formed; do not overmix.
• Divide dough in half. Pat each half into a circle and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out on a floured work surface to about ¼" thick. Cut with cookie cutters. Place cookies on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on the back. Cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

SUGAR-FREE ICING

Steps:

• Beat the two ingredients together until stiff peaks form. That's it! Use in place of icing or frosting for cupcakes and brownies.
• Makes about 1/2 cup of frosting, which should be enough for 24 mini cupcakes if you use a dab. If you want to drown yours in icing, then double up the recipe. With the calories as low as they are, you can afford to.

CREAMY SUGAR FREE FROSTING

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with 1 inch of water. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. In a clean bowl combine egg whites and Splenda Granulated Sweetener. Place bowl over simmering water and whisk mixture constantly for 5 minutes, or until Splenda Granulated Sweetener is completely dissolved.
• In a separate bowl add margarine to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Set aside.
• Transfer egg white and sweetener mixture to stand mixer and beat on high for 10 minutes until stiff peaks form. Lower speed to medium and mix in margarine 1 tablespoon at a time. Add salt and vanilla and continue mixing for 3-5 minutes or until frosting is smooth and fluffy.
• Add gel food coloring if desired and mix until food coloring is completely incorporated.

SUGAR FREE SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, butter and 2 egg yokes in a bowl. Beat until thick, smooth and creamy. Do not under beat. Add the egg whites and beat for another minure. Stop mixer. Add remaining ingredients, then mix at a slow speed or by hand. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes or until it can be handled without sticking.
• Form balls the size of small grapes and put them on a cookie sheet. All room for expansion. Flatten each cookie slighty with your fingertips. Cookies can be pressed flatter using the under side of a mug or glass rubbed with flour to avoid sticking. Bake cookies for 8-12 minutes. Cookies should be barely golden with slightly darker edges.

EASY SUGAR COOKIE ICING

Steps:

• Add the powdered sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons cream to a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together until well combined. It may seem dry at first, but it'll come together.
• Add additional milk or cream to get the right consistency.
• Divide the icing into as many bowls as you need for the colors you want. Stir in gel icing color, a little bit at a time, until it reaches your desired shade.
• Add the icing to squeeze bottles or piping bags with small round tips for piping, or use a knife or offset spatula to spread the icing onto your cookies.
• Allow the icing to dry. For it to be fully hard and able to be stacked on, give it 4-5 hours or overnight.
