Our Freedom Cookies (Healthiest Sugar Cookies Ever!) are gluten free, dairy free, nut free, sugar free, and low carb to fit into any diet!
If you saw our recipe for Low Carb Allergen Free Magic Mug Bread last month, you may know our daughter has been dealing with some health issues.
We are trying to help her work through her bouts of abdominal pain with a rigorous diet and lots of supplements.
However, ultra strict eating is difficult for anyone, let alone a teenager and budding gourmet.
Ava has struggled with eating in social situations when there are no foods available that fit into her limited diet, so we’ve started packing meals for her to take everywhere we go.
Honestly, this is no fun for any of us. Fun food makes life worth living!
Over the last couple months we’ve been working on recipes that are satisfying, and even exciting to her, yet fit into her new gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, low FODMAP lifestyle.
One such recipe is our latest cookie discovery… Freedom Cookies (Healthiest Sugar Cookies Ever!)
These simple sugar cookies are as allergen free as we could possibly make them. They are gluten free, dairy free, nut free, sugar free, and even low carb.
Yet believe it or not, they are sweet, soft, and fluffy, offering the satisfaction of a real cookie.
My family has lovingly dubbed these the “Crap-less Cookies.” Although we do not normally think of dairy, nuts, or even good quality wheat as bad or unhealthy, they are aggravating to Ava’s (and many people’s) digestive systems and have therefore gone on her naughty list.
However, we felt the name Crap-less Cookies might not give you a proper understanding of just how much we love these delicious cookies. Hence the name, Freedom Cookies (Healthiest Sugar Cookies Ever!)
Although we hope Ava’s diet is short-term and will not dictate her entire life, she is making the most of an unfortunate situation.
Fun allergen free cookies help!

Amazing
They look nice but they are certainly not low carb after doing the maths!
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. I have a friend who is vegan & another who needs low carb treats & I thought this would be good for both… but it doesn’t seem like it.
Could I use real butter?
Hi Emily,
You can make any substitutions you like to fit your diet! Just measure your butter by weight in equal portions. :)
what a recepies i must try this today
These look amazing! I was super happy to see a gluten-free, dairy-free cookie recipe, but these have eggs in them, so they aren’t dairy-free. I might try making them with flax eggs.
Hi Jessica!
They are not vegan, but they are dairy free. You can definitely use a vegan liquid egg substitute if you like. It should not negatively effect the recipe in any way. Happy Baking!
Thank you for this recipe and the ratio on the sugar!
