I just made these in non-holiday form! We made rainbow stars!! I used whole wheat flour and I didn’t have any cream cheese so just used all butter. They are yummy! They do not taste as sweet as a regular ole sugar cookie, but that is ok because I looking for a healthy low sugar alternative so I could do some baking with my 4 yr old. She had a blast painting on the glaze. Thank you for this recipe, we will use it often. =)

Almond milk should be totally fine. I interchange the 2 all the time. Hope you like them!

This recipe looks great! I was wondering, though, how drastically different would the recipe taste if I use Almond Milk (45 calorie, original flavor) instead of the low-fat milk? Any thoughts or has anyone tried this?

Thanks for sharing this!

These came out awesome. very good recipe for my kids since they are so low on sugar ,but surprising they have just the right sweetness with the glaze and sprinkles. thanks so much for the good recipes.I make green smoothies and banana ice cream all the time for us too. Merry Christmas!

I can share an awesome recipe that I make for my kids that you may like. They are called Pumpkin Sippers. I got the recipe from the farm chicks website.
They love them!

Pumpkin Sippers
I modified it to be healthier.
4 cups of plain soymilk
1/2 c.canned plain pumpkin
1/3 c brown sugar
some cinnamon and nutmeg to taste.
dash of seasalt

Whisk this all together in a pot on the stove and serve it warm with a bit of whip cream and sprinkle of cinnamon ,it is as good as pumpkin pie. They suggest making it in a crockpot for parties and serving with a ladle .
It seemed like something you might like looking at your other recipes.

Roni, you’re the best! I was debating whether or not to make cookies with my boys this year… I’m keeping them at home for their entire winter break, and I always LOVED making them with my grandma when I was a kid. But I sadly do not have her recipe (she died many years ago), and for some reason just had a block on picking one from a random site. Then lo, here you are! One of my favorite and most trusted gals posting about the very thing. I’m sold! I’ll be adding this to my list of fun things to do on vacation!

Just made these with my son, he is still decorating. They are really yummy! They came out kind of puffy with the baking powder. I think next time I will try baking soda instead. Thanks for sharing this recipe! :-)

Oh, looks like a good recipe. Although I`m not king when it comes to cooking, it seems something more interesting than gingerbread. :)

I will try soo. I did read where you said you were hoping it would make less.
Can you freeze half the dough? I think I would try that because like you, I would enjoy eating them.

I always make the cream cheese sugar cookies at Christmas time. So glad you made a lighter version of these. Can’t wait to try!

Well these aren’t super sweet. I’d say more like just sweet enough. It’s the glaze that adds the extra sweetness in each bite.
