Sugar-free cookies
People on diets and caring mothers often wonder what to replace such "harmful" sugar in desserts with. But in order to make your favorite sweets and combine the pleasant with the useful, you can simply replace sugar with healthier products. For example, maple syrup - it contains much-needed dextrose (glucose) instead of harmful sucrose.

Directions
I will give you two recipes for sugar-free cookies - choose! You can use any cream cheese - Ricotta, Almette, Mascarpone. I have Mascarpone. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Put it in a bowl. Add softened butter, cream cheese, vanilla essence and maple syrup.
Using a mixer, beat all the ingredients until smooth. Then add sifted flour with a leavening agent.
Add poppy seeds. Mix everything briefly, so that the dough retains its airy consistency.
The dough is quite soft, so it is easier to shape the cookies using a pastry bag with a wide tip.
Squeeze the dough from the pastry bag in portions onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, at some distance from each other, as the cookies will spread slightly during baking. Bake the cookies at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes, until the edges become golden and the center remains soft.
By the same principle, you can make banana cookies with coconut. Beat ripe banana with butter, cream cheese, vanilla essence, and maple syrup.
Mix sifted flour with baking powder and grated coconut.
Mix everything until smooth, soft dough is formed and shape the cookies as desired. Bake similar to avocado cookies - about 15 minutes in a preheated oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
To keep sugar-free cookies soft for longer, it is better to store them in a closed container. Try cookies according to this recipe, and you will see for yourself that you can make a very tasty and healthy dessert without sugar.
