Steps for Sugar-Free Christmas Cookies
Place the room temperature butter, cut into small pieces, eggs, and stevia in the stand mixer bowl, attach the flat beater and run at speed 2 for 2 minutes.
Then add the flour and the required spices into the stand mixer bowl, run the mixer again at speed 2 for 4 minutes, turn off, and transfer the mixture onto the work surface. Shape into a dough ball, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge to rest for 1 hour or in the freezer for 30 minutes.
After resting, take the dough, roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1/8 inch, using a bit of flour if needed. Cut circles with a diameter of 1.5-2 inches, re-knead the scraps and roll out and cut again until you use all the dough. In the end, with these quantities, you should get 20 dough discs.
Place the dough discs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, use the stamp to imprint a design on each cookie, preheat the electric oven to 390°F and once hot, bake for 20-25 minutes. After baking, remove from the oven, let cool, and serve! Enjoy my sugar-free Christmas cookies!
