Cookies, for instance, I miss chocolate chip cookies in the worst way! You would think with all the books, research, and online information available; someone would have figured out a way to create a diabetes friendly chocolate chip cookie!
Enter my mom! (da ta da!!) Mom has been on a quest to create the perfect "Katie friendly" chocolate chip cookie.
First, we tried substituting sugar for Splenda. While it helped on the sugar and carb front, it produced dry and crumbly cookies. That was no good!
Next various variations and ratios of the sugar/Splenda combination were attempted, with varying degrees of success. The more Splenda, the more crumbly and crunchy the cookie. More sugar made it too sweet and too much of a blood-sugar risk. It was quite the quandry.
Today's batch had 1/2 sugar, 1/2 Splenda and a new margarine from bestlife. It was soft and chewy with just a hint of crunch! We seem to be on the correct path!Sooner or later, we will come up with the perfect recipe for Katie Friendly chocolate chip cookies! What do we do then? Work on the Snicker-doodle recipe!
have you been searching for store-bought chocolate cookie alternatives?? I would think SOMEONE must be marketing something like that that is painfully good. ~a
