Do you have a good tried-and-true sugar free cookie recipe?
Edited on Tue Feb-01-11 06:58 AM by Phentex
The anniversary party for the in-laws is this Saturday. I need a good sugar free cookie recipe for the diabetic members of the family. It doesn't have to be low fat, lol. I am especially interested in those you have made and find good.

I have googled and I like the sound of an oatmeal type of cookie but I am open to anything!

Thank you!

1. Whatever you do
make sure you check the ingredients for whatever sweetener you are using for hidden sugars, else you might as well bake regular, because it will all be the same anyway.

Hope you all have a wonderful time, sweetie! :hi:

2. I used to make these when I was low carbing:
Chewy Coconut Macaroons

1/3 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup Splenda
1 tablespoon butter - melted
2 2/3 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Blend together almond flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Beat together eggs, vanilla, and almond extract in bowl until foamy, then gradually beat in sugar.
Add butter.

Gradually add dry ingredients to egg mixture and mix well,
Fold in coconut.

Drop mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, on greased baking sheets.
Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.

Carb count for recipe is 36g for entire recipe after fiber deductions. Makes 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
