CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES - LOW SUGAR/DIABETIC FRIENDLY RECIPE
Another recipe from the Splenda website. These were surprisingly good! I adjusted the recipe a little, using the Splenda Brown Sugar Blend (instead of regular brown sugar) and I did not dip the cookies into a chocolate sauce. So the carb count shown here is probably slightly more than what this recipe actually is. NUTRITION...

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (DIABETIC FRIENDLY)
This recipe comes from a cookbook called: "America's Best Cookbook for Kids With Diabetes". (I figured it is a pretty good cookbook for anyone with diabetes though)...It was written in 2005 by C Bartley. A friend gave me the book and the recipes that I have tried are awesome.

Tips for Baking Diabetic-Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- Use almond flour or coconut flour instead of all-purpose flour. These flours are lower in carbs and higher in fiber, making them a good choice for people with diabetes.
- Use a sugar substitute, such as stevia or erythritol. These sweeteners do not raise blood sugar levels, making them a good choice for people with diabetes.
- Use unsweetened chocolate chips. Many chocolate chips contain added sugar, so be sure to choose unsweetened chips to keep the carb count low.
- Add a little bit of salt to the batter. Salt can help to balance out the sweetness of the cookies and make them more flavorful.
- Bake the cookies at a low temperature for a longer period of time. This will help to prevent the cookies from burning and will also help to keep the carb count low.
Conclusion:
These diabetic-friendly chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and satisfying treat that can be enjoyed by people with diabetes. By using low-carb ingredients and sugar substitutes, these cookies can be enjoyed without spiking blood sugar levels. With a few simple tips, you can enjoy these cookies guilt-free.
