Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup of powdered sugar-free sweetener until smooth and fluffy. Add in two room-temperature eggs and a teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and transfer it to the refrigerator. Allow the dough to chill for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). After chilling, scoop out the dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop and place the balls onto a lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten them with the palm of your hand for an even shape. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set.
- Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, beat together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar-free sweetener until creamy. Add natural pink food coloring powder if desired. Mix until smooth and spreadable.
- Once cooled, generously frost each cookie using a knife or offset spatula. Optionally decorate with sprinkles.

Notes
Ensure butter is softened for the best results. Chilling the dough is crucial to prevent spreading during baking.
