July 9 is National Sugar Cookie Day, and this is a delicious occasion for millions.

Of course for those of us who can’t have sugar or try to stay away from it, it’s easy to feel left out. It’s almost like we’re on the outside of the bakery window looking in. Or is it?

The truth is, sugar cookies require sugar in name only. The real sweetness of these treats is their delicate recipe, which can be sugar-free, and still a cause for celebration.

The Sugar Free Diva shows us how it’s done, with a recipe that substitutes flour and still brings the look, texture, and taste you want in a dessert — especially on a celebratory day.

If you decide to share or sell your sugar-free treats on National Sugar Cookie Day, and people wonder why you’ve elected to skip the sweets, here are some facts about why we should all kick the habit.

Want to get even more creative? All Recipes shows you how to add icing to your cookies — minus the sugar, of course. The same goes for any other custom recipe improvements you want to make. Who knows, you could launch your own iconic cookie or holiday?
