Icing tip: I like to use lime juice or orange juice instead of water. It gives the icing a nice taste. :)

[@UltraVioleta...]

Ohh nice tip! Thanks

[@kimberly5465]

I know this is years later, but a great tip! Thanks!

[@chocolatymilk2402]

I made this with whole wheat flour and decorated it with dark chocolate and let me tell you, it's DOPE

[@samanthamonteiro1910]

Did you 2.5 cups completely whole wheat ?

[@chocolatymilk2402]

@@samanthamonteiro1910 yes, but you might need less depending on the type of flour you use

[@fzfamilyhomestead]

I made this recipe but made one big cookie. Like a cookie pizza. Topped it with coconut whipped cream and sliced strawberries. Delicious. This will be my new go-to recipe for sugar type cookies!

[@stvvrrlightsun]

Thank you so much for doing this! My mom is allergic to gluten and I got so excited!! Thank you!!!

[@makaylaashten293]

I actually just found out today that I am gluten intolerant. Excited to try these!

[@greenxclips1733]

just tried these and they were amazing. definitely doing this every friday!

[@jewdd1989]

For homemade icing, melted butter works in place of water and tastes like Gma’s icing if you know what I mean. That and powdered sugar can have a funky aftertaste (have not figured out why) the butter removes that nasty taste and again the frosting is pro taste.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Good to know, thanks for sharing.

[@gracef244]

Oh wow, Dani, seriously! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS ONE! It's hard to find recipes that are so easy to put together. Every recipe you've put out that I've tried has been a winner. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Thank you! Now I can easily make what cookies without the sugar! #ohmyeasygoodnes!

[@dianemarie8873]

I made these for Christmas! I made trees & stars.🎄⭐ They're delicious!! I will be making another batch today, probably snowmen and some more trees since I still have some leftover green icing.😀 Thank you so much!⛄

[@HealedandThriving]

Thank you so much. I have some newly diagnosed allergy kiddos and they had been talking about baking cut outs for months for christmas. They are going to be thrilled!!

[@ptlovefit]

I did gluten free walnut fudge brownies and white blondes with pistachio and coconut Then I did oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip And I did pumpkin bread I cut it into cubes and put then in ziplock holiday color containers and have the. Away

[@wallywallycafe]

Very nice of you to tell us where you found your recipe. Much appreciated! And the honesty is refreshing, too! Thanks for the great, informative video recipe!

[@butterflyinflight85]

If you fill the water bottle with with ice water it will help it roll out. However you can get rolling pins fairly cheap.

[@amberl4401]

This is a good video. I'm going try this for my mom. She allergic to wheat. Have a Merry Christmas! 🙂🎄

[@theremindairbreathingstrap3741]

Yum! These look great! I think I will try just sprinkling some coconut sugar on them! Merry Christmas!

[@Corrie-gk4go]

If you blend the coconut sugar into a fine powder, you get the same consistency as any icing sugar. Then add water and you got a healthier icing

[@sheilaperl4155]

These cookies look great!!! I just need to get the almond extract!!

[@nirejohnson]

Ooh!! 😲 I'm so excited! I'm planning on making these now! And your chocolate mint cookies. I loved those last year!!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

yay!!! enjoy!!

[@Historical_Jalapeno]

Did you make them? Were they good?

[@MyVintageLife]

This looks like one of the best low fat cookie 🍪 recipes I've come across, and will mention your channel if I decide to try them on mine!👌

[@jeffreynkolo4021]

I love this recipe it looks so delicious, I can’t wait to try it!!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

yay!! enjoy:)

[@lovehopefaith5775]

Definitely including them in our cookies making day this Saturday!! Some can eat regular but myself and one child have food allergies/issues. Thanks for sharing.

[@ninabaker6192]

Why do you use almond AND coconut flour? How important is the coconut flour?

[@rhondafouch4676]

Powdered Lakanto would be a great sub for honey, and coconut butter pi’s great for frosting. Satisfying Eats has a great chocolate shot recipe, and tropical tradition has great coconut butter recipes such as chocolate recipes. It is also easy to use Japanese white sweet potato in baked goods!!!

[@SirgalDelRchannel]

Gluten free sugar cookies look so delicious and appetizing. Cheers for more great cooking!

[@Ihathnotscene]

So good, even my pickiest husband complimented them! First time I've made sugar cookies without sugar, though, lol

[@lilrichycook573]

I love your balance for fun treats like this. Healthy cookie, lower calories frosting... but you still have it all! I'm going to make these this year ;D Thank you so much! Excellent vid.

[@kellyoconnor1035]

Hi Dani, thank you for posting a new recipe this week! I appreciate it. I really appreciate the easy icing recipe and this healthier version of the cookies. I have everything that I need and haven't been able to do any baking yet. I am planning on making two batches of your coconut flour chocolate chip cookies and the very delicious pumpkin breakfast cookie with the dried cranberries! Merry Christmas! Thanks for everything that you have taught me so far. I hope you and your family have a very wonderful Christmas Day XO

[@kayerin5749]

Could you substitute Molasses for the honey to make a better gingerbread man?

[@francevachon6847]

Hey Dani, i wish you and yours a beautiful Merry Christmas full of joy and happiness !!!

[@hollyfisher8811]

YEAH~A holiday treat that I can really actually EAT this season🎄!! THX SO MUCH for sharing this as have been trying not to 😢 while watching all the delish holiday food ads these days...LUV having some allergy free YUM options💖:) Happiest of Seasons to You, Dani, and Sweet Family~Blessings🎁🎉.

[@NapturalButtafly]

Enjoyed the video! I plan to make snicker doodles and peanut butter cookies. The peanut butter cookies are my favorite !

[@shaterriarubel6976]

Hey there Dani!! I love your channel!!! Happy holidays to you and your family

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Thank you! Happy Holidays to you as well.

[@anasikarakelian9248]

These are really easy. I have to make them. Thank you

[@niharikanerikaat5940]

What if one is allergic to almonds in all form? Is there a different option?

[@carolynmedina6048]

I love this! can't wait to make these

[@tashasosimple]

Looks good and happy holidays to u and ur family Dani ❤❤

[@lindalubben8779]

I would make my own frosting with cream cheese

[@PlaceForFaith]

Dip your cookie cutters in the flour before pressing them in the dough.

[@gvas7560]

Thank you for the recipe. I will try this Christmas. I like to make Doubbletree cookies. Not too healthy but delicious. I also like to make "Marranitos" is a mexican cookie in the shape of a little pig ( I have the cookie cuter for this) they taste close to ginger bread cookies but much better because they contain a lot of molasses ;)

[@thethriftyfawn]

So cute!!! 😍😍😍

[@Chrissmth]

This is great! I can make my mom some cookies!!

[@viluvsherlilflowers5263]

Hello Dani, thank you so much for this recipe!! My daughter is allergic to gluten and dairy so this works well!! She is going to be thrilled! Is there another flour I could substitute for coconut flour that would still make them tasty?

[@heatherluna5075]

The namaste Costco flour works.🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@spraywing]

Thanks finally a right recipe

[@amandac2563]

These look so yummy! What is an alternative to blanched almond flour because I am not able to eat almonds?

[@ptlovefit]

Amazing why did I get this one day AFTER Christmas?

[@bernardzammit6459]

Love it

[@danaejavier]

This in in the fridge cooling right now! Thank you I will report back with how they turn out. Could you consider please doing a white frosting using maple syrup or honey? I can't seem to find a frosting I can have. Thank you!

[@bluecrocus73]

Can almond flour be substituted with some other type of gluten free flour? Like using only coconut flour in the recipe?

[@blonde4fire]

yes but you will need more wet ingredients cause almond flour and coconut flour absorb differently

[@RosasUtopia]

OMG...those look so good and NO BUTTER...WHAT???!!! LOL I am going to try these.

[@rashamohamed1208]

would you please make a video about "how to diy coconut flour"?

[@SP-ql9xz]

Came out super : thank u🙏🏽

[@زهرا-ظ6ذ]

Can I take the recipe to make a project for myself? Thank you

[@May570]

I'm allergic to almond flour :(

[@aliciabrooks3214]

What's another alternative I'm allergic to Almonds and cannot use almond extract or the flour

[@chilixification]

Does the honey have to be a special brand? I did everything how you show in the video and was very hard to make the cookies they broke all the time.

[@estherh2142]

It is such great video!!!

[@Sbannmarie]

Dani you’re awesome. 😉

[@AlinnaIrimia]

Foooooooooorget about the icing !!!!!!

[@gsweets]

Love this! And the camera being above👌 .... question do you have to put the egg yolk in? Can I just use the white? Ty!?

[@blonde4fire]

the yolk is what binds the ingredients if you cant eat it for a certain reason what i would do is use egg whites but add something else like a little bit of banana or even a little pumpkin puree

[@gsweets]

blonde4fire it can't be eat because of an allergy.... and no pumpkin either... but banana might work I suppose! Ty!

[@hadiarabbanibadhan6317]

But isn't icing gonna ruin the whole clean eating thing!!

[@udhe4421]

Hadia rabbani Badhan . Skip the icing. Really don't c why a icing is necessary.

[@rashamohamed1208]

you can substitute with dark chocolate or yes skip the icing instead

[@sweso66]

You can use the erythritol powder + water = 0 calorie

[@Trthsker24]

Not to mention the toppings decorations purely toxic.

[@nikoutoajaisai6310]

I would use coconut sugar or stevia.

[@madziam7893]

Great I am making them. So fat I have been making oat flour cookiess.😇

[@lizlovee4377]

Yummm

[@jenniferperez1053]

Could I use a chia egg?

[@samanthamonteiro1910]

Can I use 2.5 cups wheat flour instead 🙄

[@madziam7893]

Merr Xmas

[@ndangelpainter7]

Are these keto friendly?

[@jennifersimon1472]

How to make it eggless?

[@SP-ql9xz]

Correction😉2 cups in recipe for icing but u said 1 cup🤔🤔

[@bassmaamin]

Can you plz do healthy recipes gor one year old baby am traying to feed him as healthy as possible not to suffer from obesity like me

[@22GodisLove1]

Do they come out soft?

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Yes - I would say they are more soft then crispy:)

[@22GodisLove1]

Clean & Delicious awesome thanks!! My hubby likes soft so wanted to make sure

[@momapes]

Thanks for the video, Dani. I have a question: I'm not allowed eggs right now (healing my gut) and thought I couldn't have cookies. I am using ground flax seeds for egg replacement. Do you know if that would work in the place of the eggs??? I might be able to make some cookies if you think so. Thanks!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

+Mo Mapes I think it May work!! Definition they worth a try.

[@momapes]

Thank you for responding, Dani......

[@PixelPaperDesigns]

Mo Mapes yes flaxegg will work. Flaxegg do tend 2 have that flaxseed taste which can be a bit overwhelming but that's my opinion. Chia egg will wrk 2

[@momapes]

Thanks for your reply, plush furr. I have chia seed too. Have not tried it because the flax has been fine so far. Does the chia seed have less of a flavor? I will try it.......

[@PixelPaperDesigns]

Mo Mapes no problem 😊 the chia egg is actually flavorless. I still use flaxegg but it depends on wut I'm using it 4

[@arlene1212]

Wait aren’t eggs Dairy?

[@Emilybethminchin22]

Do they contain milk or come from cows? Then no

[@НатаШукюрова]

🌲🍪💐👍👍😍❤️

[@MonicaMArata-ho9lg]

This does not work for me. Absolutely No to refined sugar and absolutely NO to heating honey.

[@Shayne_T]

Then keto is the way.. but their not as good. I can't have much of anything with my autoimmune disease.

[@SONICMANIA172]

May be you can try maple .... 🍁

[@MonicaMArata-ho9lg]

@@SONICMANIA172 si', gracias!

[@brendastolecki4755]

Look too thick.....
