I made these Cut Out Cookies on a whim today! I wanted a cut out cookie for my son’s up coming birthday party (he will be three) but hadn’t found a recipe that I liked that didn’t have loads of sugar/carbs in it!
I thought up a recipe, went straight to the kitchen and put my thoughts into action…. hoping it would turn out! Most of the coconut flour cookies I make are very crumbly! I didn’t want to deal with a dry crumbly cookie. BINGO!! These are not dry and they hold together well! SO super happy with them! My very picky 9 year old even said they were the Best THM COOKIES I’ve made, haha!
I also didn’t want to use Almond Flour because it doesn’t hold together well for “cookies. But these do! Just MAKE SURE and KEEP the dough COLD. I placed my dough in the freezer after every roll and then once I cut the cookies with cookie cutters I froze again so I could take them easily to the cookie sheet with out the cookies breaking.
These cookies are not hard but more of a soft but not crumbly cut out cookies or “sugar cookie”! I will try and do a Baking Blend Option as soon as I bake up another batch!!
So here we go…
Start with the batter…
Dump dough onto plastic wrap.
Roll out and freeze for about 15 minutes.
Using cookie cutters, cut out shapes and then re-freeze without taking the cookies off the plastic. Then place cut outs on parchment paper on a cookie sheet or baking stone.
Bake and then allow to cool completely.
Mix up icing… (I added a couple drops of blue food coloring).

Thank you for this recipe which doesn’t use THM products and uses products I can find. I love your recipes.
Awh, you are welcome! I know sometimes we don’t have access to those awesome THM products so it’s good to have another option.
Hey have you tried it with baking blend yet?
I have not! I need too!! đ
Sounds yummy! One question, last ingredient on the list – ‘couple drops of liquid food couples’ – what is that?!
haha… that’s just supposed to be a “couple drops”.
You still didnât answer the above posters question. It says a couple drops of liquid food … what is liquid food? Thank you
Itâs food coloring. Sorry, Iâll update that!
About how many cookies does this make?
Honestly I cannot remember… đ
How did these cookies do after baking; did they get soft and fall apart? Where did you store them? I have had trouble with on plan baked goods falling apart, crumbling and being very soft. Tips would be appreciated. Thank you for the recipe
This might want to wait to give this one a try. Its a harder recipe to work with. You have to keep the batter really frozen. They are a soft cookie, so they do crumble a little. Not too too bad though!
This recipe is lovely however you might want to go back and fix all the typos as it can get confusing thanks
Ugh, I am sure… I need to do that! Thank you!
