Personal Care at Home Selma CA – Personal Care at Home: Sugar Free Christmas Cookies For Seniors

If a senior struggles with things like diabetes or another disease that requires limiting sugar, there are still recipes to choose from. Personal care at home providers can help a senior find those recipes and help a senior bake them up. These professionals can help take a senior to and from the store plus helping them around the store. When personal care at home attendants go to the senior’s house, they can help plan out the types of cookies they will bake together.

Personal Care at Home can Find New Options

Some seniors may not like cookies, and luckily there are tons of sweet recipes they can bake that will work around their diets. There are vegan cookies, no-bake cookies, no sugar cookies, and much more. Personal care at home attendants will help a senior explore all of their options together. It is one of their duties to help the seniors with small household chores like baking and cookies.

Sugar Free Cookie Recipes

If you need something sugar free to try this year, this is the list for you. This is perfect for seniors who are watching their sugar intake. Seniors may also like to use fake sugar or sugar alternatives like Truvia. With these alternative substances many regular recipes can be transformed into sugar free cookies.

Keto Christmas Cookies

These cookies made with cashew butter and monk fruit are one of the best cookies to make for seniors watching carbs and sugar. Each cookie can be topped with red and green sugar free candies to make it more festive. These will be nice and soft cookies that taste delicious. They are perfect for the season.

Gluten-Free Holiday Cookies

Instead of using traditional flour this recipe uses gluten-free flour which is perfect for seniors with celiacs but still want cookies. This recipe also skips sugar altogether and opts for honey instead. These cookies are easy to shape and are a little bit more crunchy than the average cookie.

Chewy Sugar Cookies

These are cookies with sugar-free substitutes that are perfectly chewy and create the best bite. They are filled with cranberries and pistachios which help get yummy flavor and great texture. The best part about this recipe is that it does not take that long to make. If a senior has an extra thirty minutes, this is the recipe for them.

Nutella Thumbprint Cookies

Instead of using average Nutella try out the sugar free version to make thumbprint cookies. The sugar in this recipe can also be substituted for an alternative. It is low-carb, low sugar, but incredibly delicious to snack on during Christmas.
