Yes, you can eat lightened up cookies on Valentine’s Day when you’re watching your calories. A little sweet treat will satisfy you when you’re craving something really bad! These aren’t bad, and you don’t have to feel guilty for eating them.
Ingredients needed:
all purpose flour baking powder salt ground nutmeg white sugar butter egg white vanilla extract reduced-fat sour cream powdered sugar vanilla extract food coloring
How to make Weight Watchers Sugar Cookies:
Mix the dough and pat it into a disk. Wrap it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. Chilled dough is easier to roll out. Roll out the dough and cut out shapes. Use hearts for Valentine’s Day or other shapes for different holidays or celebrations!
Place the cut-out cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 12 minutes. Then transfer the baked cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
These simple cookies need glaze to give them a little more sweetness as well as a pretty drizzle. The glaze is made of powdered sugar, water, vanilla and coloring. Make whatever color glaze you’d like!
The glaze will harden as the cookies are given a chance to sit. Sprinkle a little bit of chunky sugar on top, if desired.
These are not super sweet and decadent sugar cookies… because they’re Weight Watchers Sugar Cookies! They’re a sweet treat that’s delicious to enjoy if you’re watching your calories (or if you’re on the WW program). You can have two cookies for 6 points counted on any color of the WW program. The great thing about Weight Watchers recipes is that you can substitute healthier ingredients to make the recipes more appropriate to eat on a weight loss program.
After the icing has hardened, you can store these cookies in a covered container with layers separated by wax paper. When you’re following the WW program, put these Weight Watchers Sugar Cookies in little zip baggies of two per baggie. And then pop them in the freezer where they are safe from over-indulging! Then you can take them out when the craving hits. Enjoy!
