Sugar-Free Holiday Cookie Bars (Crowd Favorite!)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup sugar-free sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240 g) almond flour or 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts or dried-fruit-style sugar-free mix
  • Optional: 1 tsp cinnamon or ½ tsp almond extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the oven & pan

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper.

2. Make the dough

  1. In a bowl, beat butter + sugar-free sweetener for 2 minutes until creamy.
  2. Add eggs and vanilla; beat again.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk:
    • Almond (or all-purpose) flour
    • Baking soda
    • Salt
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until just combined.
  5. Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips or preferred add-ins.

3. Bake

  1. Spread the dough evenly into the pan.
  2. Bake 18–22 minutes, or until edges are golden and center is set.
  3. Cool fully before cutting — they firm up as they cool.

4. Freeze & Serve

  • Freeze cut bars in layers with parchment between them.
  • When ready to serve, let bars thaw for 10 minutes — they taste fresh-baked again!

Tips for the Best Sugar-Free Bars

  • Allulose gives the softest texture (almost gooey).
  • Erythritol makes them firmer with a slight cookie crunch.
  • Add ¼ tsp maple extract for holiday flavor.
  • Add a sprinkle of salt flakes on top for a bakery finish.
