By Summer:
One of my New Year resolutions is to cook with no sugar for my family. Most of my baking goes to work with my husband (so you will still be getting sugary recipes from me), but for the few goodies that stick around I want them to be healthier than normal sweets. I have posted other low sugar cookie options, but this one offers NO SUGAR ADDED. You’ll also notice I’ve used whole wheat flour. My next goal will be to replace the extracts with actual vanilla bean (which I’ve only worked with briefly before) and almond which might be difficult for the desired intense flavor.
No Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
½ cup honey
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
1/3 cup ground flaxseed
¾ cup quick oats
2 cups Hodgson Mill’s Whole Wheat Flour
1½ semi-sweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350oF.
2. Combine all ingredients into your Kitchen Aid stand mixer using the flat beater attachment. (I add my ingredients in order of appearance in case you’re interested.)
3. Place a dozen “drop cookies” onto a cookie sheet and back for 10 minutes.

I’m pinteresting it! Thank you.
Nevermind – for some reason I couldn’t pin it, but I am bookmarking it and will try to make them soon.
Wow, cookies with no sugar. Interesting. I’ll have to try it.
We do a lot of no sugar cookies in our house. The kids never notice!
Hmmm – I wonder if I could get away with no sugar at my house.
Might have to try those sometime!
I’ll have to try these out!
I’ll have to try these!
Yum. I am diabetic these would be better than the ones with sugar. What can be used in place if the flaxseed? They sound good.
They sound fab. I’ve been experimenting without sugar as well!
Now that sounds good, I am not a sweet eater nor are my kids, they would like this. I love using Flaxseed too!
My first reaction was NO SUGAR – NO WAY, until I saw the almond extract which would give it a great flavor.
Ahh honey, never thought!
Lots of great things to give it flavor. Sounds interesting!
Yummy, cookies with honey!

Thanks. I can try this recipe, and actually eat one of the cookies.
I love the entire no sugar thing, especially for my kids!
Wow, I never knew they had a no sugar recipe for these cookies. This I will have to try.
Thanks.
They look good!
I made these cookies last week and they were gone within 3 days! So delicious, the recipe is easy to follow and they turned out perfect! I will definitely be making these again and again.
