Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted Butter
• 1 cup Granulated Erythritol
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 2.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
• 3 cups Powdered Erythritol
• 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated erythritol together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the mixture, and continue to beat until well combined.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Roll the dough into a ball and cover it with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.

Step 7

After chilling, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 8

Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 10

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

To make the buttercream frosting, beat 0.5 cup of unsalted butter until creamy.

Step 12

Add 3 cups of powdered erythritol, 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt. Beat the mixture until smooth and fluffy.

Step 13

Once the cookies have cooled completely, frost them using the prepared sugar-free buttercream frosting with a spatula or piping bag as desired.

Step 14

Decorate with sugar-free sprinkles, if desired, and serve.
