Cookie Recipes so Good You Won't Know They Are Sugar Free
Yummy Cookies For The Diabetic Snacker
I am a diabetic who likes a sweet tasting snack now and then. I don't mean a sugary cream filled delight I mean something that can satisfy my sweet tooth occasionally when it rears it's ugly little head.
Being diabetic I am extra careful about what I put into my mouth. I went searching for cookie recipes because I can eat them in smaller doses and can also freeze them if I can't eat them quickly enough.
I have managed to wean myself from all of the ooey gooey sweets that were an intrical part of my diet before and don't want to start wanting them again. Cookies seemed the safest choice for me.
Anyway, me being me, I got a hold of some recipes and made them my own. I hope you find them as delicious as I do.

One Last Thing...
I have made all three of these cookie recipes for my family when they were down visiting. I never let on that they were sugarfree and they loved the cookies. If had told them they would have turned up their noses.
These recipes are now family favorites. It's a good thing they are because we found out in 2017 that not only do I have to avoid the sugar but my grandson has to also.
Try them, you'll like them.
