So since Brad was diagnosed diabetic, we have altered our way of living. I have also been trying to general eat better and lose weight myself. Well we have tried to find lower carb food and desserts. One alternative we made was splenda sugar cookies. Personally I do not like splenda. I prefer sweet and low. I think every person has their preference on sweeteners though. Anyhow, we made these and Brad and his family really likes them. I will say, they are not THAT much lower in carbs than the real thing though. They are probably far less in sugar, but our doctors said to focus on carbs not sugar. Anyhow, Brad does like these, so we will make them again I am sure.
