Almost Sugarless Sugar Cookies

December 3, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 105 Comments

Hi Everyone and Happy Monday!

Today I have for you my first Christmas Cookie of the season and believe me it won’t be my last!  Hope you’re looking forward to several Christmas Cookie recipes, because your going to be getting them!  🙂   On Saturday, I made 6 different kinds of cookies, about 18 batches all together!!  Oh my gosh, talk about being cookied out!


These are my almost sugarless sugar cookie.  I added a sprinkle of Christmas sugar on top, that’s why they are almost sugarless.  These cookies are a soft sugar cookie that contain a nice crispy edge.  They are perfect little cookie to satisfy the sugar/cookie craving and contain absolutely no sugar, well except for the sprinkles, that’s optional, so I’m not counting that!  Another great thing about these cookies is that they don’t need to be refrigerated.  I hate refrigerating my cookies, when I want to make cookies, I want to make them now, not wait an hour or more!  I have no patience for that!  But if you choose to roll out the dough and make cut-outs, then I recommend refrigerating the dough for about an hour or two.

Your probably wondering where does the sugar-free part come from?   Remember when I made my Peanut Butter Cookie Granola last week?  Well I loved it so much that I contacted NuNaturals to let them know how much I love the Presweet Tagatose that I received from the giveaway I won.   They were so pleased that they sent me a HUGE bag of it, along with a cute note telling me to have fun creating cookies.  Woohoo!!  You know the first thought I got was a sugarless sugar cookie, how ironic.  lol   When using the Presweet Tagatose, I didn’t notice to much of a difference except that I needed to add a pinch more of it to my cookies to sweeten it up a tad bit since I have a major sweet tooth!  Even baking with it worked out great, I didn’t notice any difference in texture, size or taste of the cookie.  Plus a big benefit is that I didn’t get a stomach ache!  When I use fake sweeteners, I get such a horrible empty, acidy feeling in my stomach.  Presweet Tagatose doesn’t do that to me, or any of the NUnaturals Stevia.  Yah!


Your probably wondering what Presweet Tagatose is?  Here is some information that NuNaturals sent me.

NuNaturals introduces a NEW sweetener for the first time in the United States!

PreSweet™ Tagatose is safe for diabetics because it will not raise blood sugar levels. One of the health benefits of PreSweet™ is that it is a prebiotic ingredient. Prebiotics feed probotic bacteria like acidopholis found in yogurt. They help the good bacteria in the digestive system multiply.

Where does Tagatose come from?  It is a naturally-occurring sweetener found in milk, fruits, and vegetables.  Tagatose is lactose free and Gluten Free!!

Why use PreSweet™ in your recipes?   This product enables you to reduce or eliminate refined sugar in your recipes. It is  92% as sweet as sugar,  PLUS it leaves NO unpleasant aftertaste like many sugar substitutes.

PreSweet™ is a low calorie ( 6 calories/serving ), Low  GI ( 3 on the Glycemic index ) ,And low in carbohydrates ( especially since many of these carbohydrates are not digested )

PreSweet™ serves those on a weight loss program well because it will satisfy your sweet tooth without adding the calories that sugar will.   Each 1 Tsp. Serving of PreSweet™ is equal to 1 tsp. Sugar.

PreSweet™ Tagatose will “Brown” and “Carmelize” like sugar, plus helps retain moisture longer and improve the shelf life of your baked goods.

I have to tell you I am really liking my Presweet Tagatose!  Hopefully with it’s help, I won’t gain any extra pounds this holiday season.  I also love that I can serve cookies and other baked goods to my friends and family and I they won’t even notice a difference.  It’s kind of my secret way of letting them know I care about their health, without them actually knowing!   I already slipped some in my Hubby’s frappe and he hasn’t noticed!  🙂

NuNaturals was kind enough to also send me their new Chocolate NuStevia Liquid which works great in coffee!  I just add a few drops and a little milk and my coffee is perfect!  I can’t wait to experiment with it and see what else I can come up with.  I’m relatively new to the liquid Stevia’s so I am not sure how to use it, but I’ll figure it out.  If you have recipes using liquid stevia, do share them!!!

I also received their new Peppermint NuStevia Liquid. You already know that I love peppermint!  This is so going in my frappe’s for sure!!!  I already have a fun recipe floating in my head with the use of the Chocolate and Peppermint NuStevia Liquid, stay tuned…

    I like baking cookies. It doesn’t have to be the holiday season for that and my favorite are Chocolate chip. I am not much for store bought cookies as I think its a waste of calorie consumption. The real deal is a cookie that can soak up milk like a sponge but still remain chewy and intact!

Hello Thursday!! Two more days to go, but who’s Hello Thursday!! Two more days to go, but who’s counting? I am!  I just saw that my nursery got some Iceland Poppies and I think I need to go get some for the garden. We’re supposed to get rain, so it’s a great time to get them planted and I won’t have to worry about watering them.
🌸
Speaking of flowers, I was gifted this gorgeous bouquet of silk flowers from @prestige.botanicals. Don’t they look so real? I am impressed with the quality of the flowers.
🌸
The flowers remind me of an English Cottage Garden. The only problem with them is I need more. Like a lot more!! They are by far the best faux flowers I have ever seen. The flowers are so soft and feel so real. The foliage is the most beautiful green color.
🌸
My husband thought I bought myself some fresh flowers, he couldn’t believe how real they look. I just checked on there website and some flowers are on sale for 30% off. The perfect time to get more.
🌸
If you could only have one flower forever, what would it be?

Happy Wednesday! For a short week, I sure am tired Happy Wednesday! For a short week, I sure am tired. I think I need more coffee and better food. I keep snacking and that is such a bad habit for me. I’m going to try to be better starting today.
🌸
I’m just loving my tray and riser by the sink. It’s so bright and happy. The only thing is, I look at it a bazillion times a day and I seemed to have neglected my coffee plant on the tray.
🌸
I totally forgot to water it and the leaves fell flat and got crispy. I’m happy it perked back up. This is one of the plants that I need to repot. The roots are growing out of the pot. I hope to get a little pot for it this weekend.
🌸
Things have been pretty quite here, but boy we had some serious high winds with gusts up to 60mph. The wind blew so many leaves off our citrus trees and broke my salvia plant. The poor plant can’t get a break. It finally started to grow back after Sampson stepped on it.
🌸
I hope you have an amazing day!!
🌸
Would you rather live without a TV or without a phone?

Hello Tuesday! It’s so nice having Monday off. Hello Tuesday! It’s so nice having Monday off.  I got so much done around the house. Lots of chores like the dreaded laundry and my favorite vacuuming. I’m saying that sarcastically. I don’t know why, but I just don’t like vacuuming.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. The wea Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. The weather was beautiful here, but that won’t last long. By mid week we will be back in the low 50’s with high wind and a chance of rain, for several days. But that’s okay, we need the rain.
🌷
Saturday morning I went to Trader Joe’s, and oh my gosh they had the most gorgeous tulips. I was so surprised to find them so early in the year. All those beautiful colors just made me happy. I picked up two bundles to take home with me. I just had too! Shhhh, some daffodils, a plant and planted tulips made it in my cart. I am unclear how that happened?🤷🏼‍♀️
🌷
I know, I know, I’m on the 30 day, no buying home decor challenge. But are flowers really decor? They are more of a “put a smile on your face because you know Spring is coming” kind of flower. I’ll make any excuse I can.
🌷
I did go to Michaels yesterday with my husband and I walked out empty handed. I even saw some really cute decor, but I told myself no. Today is day 18! You do realize, we are going shopping on the 31st.
🌷
Did you do anything fun this weekend?

Happy Friday!  Time to do the happy dance! I don’t have any major plans this weekend, which is nice. But I do think I’ll be cleaning out the pantry. It became a mess during the holidays.
🪶
I’m ending the week with my little friend Woody. Woody is a Nuttall Woodpecker that spends the night in our birdhouse. He comes home at dusk and leaves at sunrise. So right now Woody sleeps just over 14 hours. I have noticed the days are getting longer, as he goes to bed about two minutes later every night. Yes I watch. lol
🪶
My husband said Woody leaves in the morning to go to work and comes home after work. I think he leaves in the morning to go visit his girlfriend. They spend the days flying, holding wings as they soar in the air together.
🪶
I’m actually surprised we have a woodpecker since they normally like to hang around the California Oak Woodland trees. We don’t have oak trees where I live, at least that I know of. Woody is also a California bird, they pretty much stays within the state.
🪶
In the first video; Woody is making the hole bigger on the birdhouse so he could fit in. He was at it for awhile. If you listen to the video, you can here him pecking. He spent the 1st night in the blue birdhouse, then changed his mind to the cedar birdhouse. He’s been with us for 7 nights so far.
🪶
The second video is Woody coming home and going to sleep. We are just full of joy seeing him come back. My husband didn’t think birds lived in a birdhouse, and he is so excited to see one actually use the birdhouse he hung. For a man who didn’t want bird feeders, he gets so excited to see them. If birds are in the yard, he won’t go outside because he doesn’t want to disturb them.
🪶
The two photos were captures I got. He actually didn’t freak out and leave when he saw me. I was about 5’ away from him.
🪶
I know this is not decor, but the birds just make me so happy.
🪶
What is your favorite bird?

Hello hello! Happy Thursday! It’s been a busy w Hello hello! Happy Thursday!  It’s been a busy week, so the weekend can’t get here soon enough. Yesterday it hit 66, it felt like spring out. This weekend, I’ll be cleaning up the garden. I’ll take you on a tiny tour this weekend.
❤️
I love making vignettes. It helps give me ideas on how and where I want to display things in my home, so you may see some of these items placed somewhere else at a later date.
❤️
My friend Liz @little_bit_original gifted me the cute little coffee with heart block and the snowman with heart. Give me all the hearts!  Liz has the cutest little shop, be sure you check her out.
❤️
What would you rather have? Chocolate or Flowers?

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way ther Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way there!  I’m counting down to the weekend. It’s supposed to hit near 70 degrees which is rare for this time of year.
💕
I’m sharing with you my little Valentines vignette that I put together. Since some of you said buying candy and displaying it was considered home decor, I used the Hostess Snow Balls that my husband bought.
💕
He said your using the Snow Balls I bought for Home Decor. I said yup! It’s pink and goes with my Valentines. Now I can’t eat them because I don’t want to lose my display. Lol
💕
I was so excited to get my happy mail from @thevintagehomestudio. The tea towel and candy bar was the perfect addition to my display. I love my tea towel so much. Give me all the hearts.
💕
I’m half way through my no buying home decor challenge. So far so good, but I will tell you now, I am going to buy some flowers when I hit up Trader Joe’s this week, I just have too. I heard they got a bunch of gorgeous tulips. I must have them. But I promise that I won’t go crazy.
💕
What are your plans for the weekend?

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?
