These no-sugar sugar cookies are just as sweet and buttery as the originals — without any of the sugar. Decorate them any way you like for Easter.
Why These Are Our Go-To Easter Cookies
Made specifically for baking, SPLENDA Granulated Sweetener not only tastes just like sugar but measures cup for cup like the real thing. It stays sweet at high temperatures, which means it works beautifully in cookies, muffins, breads, and anywhere else you normally use sugar. The result is a cookie that has all the flavor and crispness of a traditional sugar cookie with a fraction of the calories and carbohydrates.
With a texture similar to a buttery shortbread, these cookies hold their shape beautifully when cut, making them ideal for detailed Easter cookie cutters. We found an adorable set with a bunny, egg, flower, and carrot shape — they practically scream spring.
Perfect For:
Easter cookie decorating with kids — hands-on and fun at any age
Easter baskets as a lower-sugar alternative to store-bought candy
Spring bake sales and teacher gifts that look bakery-worthy
Diabetic-friendly holiday treats — only 7g carbs and 1g sugar per cookie

A mix of cookie cutter shapes turns a simple dough into an Easter cookie platter. These hold their shape beautifully thanks to the chill step.
How to Make the Cookie Dough
The dough comes together quickly and requires just a few pantry staples. The combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour gives you the perfect balance of structure and tenderness. The small amount of vinegar in the recipe helps activate the baking powder for just the right amount of lift without making the cookies cakey.
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a cookie sheet
