Lemon Sugar Cookie help

loubeth22 · September 2012

Hi,

I've been craving lemon cookies for a while now and want to make a healthy recipe but I need some input. I have a basic iead of a sugar cookie that will go well with lemon filling on the top but I'm unsure the calories and whether it will work. I'll write the recipe down with my ideas and if anyone could give me some pointers that would be fantastic.

1.5 cup flour (I want to use Almond meal/wholemeal if its better)
3/4 cup butter (I'm thinking max of 1/2 cups of low cal butter or maybe using half milk half butter instead)
1/2 cup honey
dash of lemon juice

Then the topping will be a low cal lemon pie mix/ lemon frosting

Does this sound like it will work? Or will I have to adjust for using almond flour?

I just found out I can use natural yogurt instead of butter. I might try that too

Idk but try to find a substitute for the butter only, the other ingredients are good I think
EDIT I found a recipe but its on spanish, they use some kind of vegetal oil it's called "Rocio vegetal" its like an oil spray

I'll give it a go tonight and let you know if it works.

All I know is sugar cookies are better for you than shortbread so it make sense to me that I can get a good healthy halfway cookie between the two.
