You'll Need
For the Cookies:
1 egg
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup melted butter (can sub vegan butter)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond milk
1/4 cup Purecane™ zero-calorie Baking Sweetener
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
For the Icing Drizzle:
1/4 cup Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener
1-2 tsp almond milk
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the bottom of a baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients: egg, lemon juice, melted butter, vanilla, and almond milk. Whisk until well combined.
- Once combined, add in Purecane™ zero-calorie Baking Sweetener, flour, baking powder, and salt and mix with a rubber spatula until a soft dough starts to form. Fold in the chopped strawberries and mix until well incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop two spoonfuls and place them directly on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 22 minutes. While the cookies bake, make your icing. Combine the almond milk and Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener until you've reached the desired consistency (the more almond milk you add, the more liquidy the icing). Drizzle on top of cookies and enjoy!
