Description

Imagine biting into a delicate, lightly sweetened cookie that melts in your mouth. These embossed sugar cookies offer a delightful combination of textures and visual appeal. Crafted from a special dough, these cookies maintain a satisfying richness without relying on traditional sugars.

The dough needs to be chilled, which makes it easier to handle and roll out to the perfect thickness. The magic truly happens when a decorative rolling pin is used to imprint intricate patterns onto the surface of each cookie, turning a simple treat into a miniature work of art. Using a round cookie cutter, uniform circles are created, ensuring consistent baking and an elegant presentation.

Once baked, the cookies transform into a light golden brown, their subtle sweetness enhanced by a hint of warmth from the oven. These cookies are ideal for festive gatherings or as a thoughtful homemade gift. For an added touch of elegance, consider embellishing the cookies with a shimmering, edible paint.

A small amount of almond extract combined with luster powder creates a beautiful, reflective finish that catches the light. This mixture can be delicately applied with a fine paintbrush, allowing you to customize each cookie with a unique, eye-catching design. Luster powder is available in a wide array of colors, offering endless creative possibilities to match any occasion or theme.

While these cookies may not adhere to all dietary restrictions due to the inclusion of certain ingredients, they provide a delicious option for those seeking to reduce their sugar intake without sacrificing flavor or texture. Taking care of your embossed rolling pin ensures it remains in excellent condition for years to come. Before each use, lightly oil the pin with a brush to prevent the dough from sticking.

After use, carefully remove any trapped dough with a toothpick and re-oil the pin before storing it away. This simple maintenance will help preserve the intricate details of the pin. These embossed sugar cookies stand alone as a delightful treat, they can be paired with a rich cup of coffee or tea for an extra comforting experience.

Their delicate sweetness and beautiful designs make them a welcome addition to any dessert table.

Instructions

    1.
    Cream the salted butter, cream cheese, xanthan gum, and powdered sweetener for 5-7 minutes. Cream these ingredients for the entire length of time as it ensures a very light and fluffy cookie. Ensure all the ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter and cream cheese, to aid in this process.
    2.
    Next, add almond flour, kosher salt, and vanilla extract. Then cream the almond flour in for 2-3 minutes. Since the cookies are gluten-free, you can afford to whip the ingredients well to add air to the dough.
    3.
    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap. Form dough into a disk shape and chill for 30 minutes to one hour. You want to make sure the dough is properly chilled as the dough is sticky. The dough should be firm but give to some pressure. Keeping the dough chilled throughout the entire process will make the dough easy to work with.
    4.
    Preheat an oven to 350 F (176.5 C). Once the dough is chilled, roll each dough out into a "". Then use an embossed rolling pin to roll out a pattern on top of the dough.
    5.
    Then cut the dough using a 2 to 2 " round cookie cutter. Place the cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet spaced evenly apart. The cookies do not spread much.
    6.
    Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the bottom. Allow them to cool completely before removing them to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
