When you're on a healing or weight loss journey, it's very important emotionally to have sweet treats. These Chocolate-Dipped Shortbread Cookies fit the bill! They're allergy-friendly, grain-free, gluten-free, low-carb, and THM:S! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

ThereĀ are moments…

…when you’re on a healing journey (even healthy weight loss) that it’s really important emotionally to have a treat.

It helps you toĀ endure the rest.

So let’s give cookies a ā€œreal food makeoverā€. These Sugar-Free Chocolate-Dipped Shortbread Cookies fit the bill.

Yes, they’reĀ sweet cookies, yetĀ you can enjoy themĀ guilt-free because the recipeĀ uses nourishing ingredients… and there’s no sugar!

No sugar?

That’s right. It calls for erythritol (a sugar alcohol) and stevia — 2 sugar alternatives. They are not fake sugars like aspartame, by the way.

(If you’re wondering whether or not sugar alcohols are healthy and safe, or even what they are, thisĀ #AskWardeeĀ willĀ help you decide that for yourself.)

This recipeĀ comes from my friend Lindsey’sĀ brand-new eCookbook Sweet Without SugarĀ that’s currently 40% off. She’s graciously agreed to share the recipeĀ here with you. Thank you, Lindsey!

Click here for more info on the brand-new 40% OFFĀ Sweet Without Sugar eCookbook.

And now for the recipe! I made these the other day and the family announced they were keepers and we should make them again and again! Enjoy!

Want More NourishingĀ Recipes Using Erythritol?

If you’re ok using sugar alcohols like erythritol in moderation (find out what it is, if it’s healthy, and why you might consider it here), then you may notice it’s hard to find tried-and-true nourishing dessert recipes using it.

Yes, there are lots of low-carb recipes on the Web with xylitol or erythritol, but the other ingredients are not necessarily nourishing, whole foods, or allergy-friendly. The recipes are pretty scary, actually!

Which is why I’m thrilled to introduce you to this brand-new 40% OFFĀ eCookbook (the shortbread cookie recipe is a free release from it)…
