Tips & Tricks
To decorate your cookies, you can simply sprinkle them with powdered sweetener or, even better, make sugarless “sugar” cookie glazing:
- Beat 1 egg white with 1 cup of powdered erythritol.
- Divide into four equal parts and color each part with desired food coloring.
- Pipe the glazing onto cookies and let the glazing become firm before serving.
