  • Using a spatula or your hands, mix the eggs into the flour until well incorporated.
  • Add the Sukrin gold IMO syrup butter mixture, and knead with your hands until you get a uniform dough.

  • Accordingly, separate the dough into 3 equal pieces.
  • Take one piece and place between two sheets of parchment paper.
  • Roll out until 1/2 inch (1/4 cm) thick.
  • Use cookie cutters to create the shapes.
  • Place each onto the baking pan.
  • Repeat the rolling and cutting out steps until you have no dough left.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes or until the cookies are golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool on a cooling rack.
  • For the icing, using a hand electric mixer mix together the egg white, lemon juice and powdered erythritol in a small bowl.
  • Using a piping bag , decorate the cookies anyway you wish.
  • Once the cookies are chilled, place them into an airtight container and store for up to 10 days (if you can - I dare you! ????
