Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 stick butter, softened
1 stick butter substitute, softened (Like smart balance)
3/4 cup Splenda (Or Altern, Walmarts brand)
3/8 cup of Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 cups Whole Wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bag semisweet chocolate chips (or sugar free Chocolate Chips)
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter, butter substitute, and both sugar substitutes. Add vanilla and egg. Beat well. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Dough will be real thick, almost like a biscuit dough. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.

Roll dough into small balls, about the size of a quarter. Flatten into small disks. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, about an inch apart.

Bake for approximately 8 minutes, center will be a little soft. Do not overbake. Place on rack to cool.

I've found that diabetic cookie recipes mention portions so small that you might as well use half whole wheat flour with half unbleached white flour, sub a little less brown sugar for white sugar and make a smaller regular cookie.
Eat slowly and figure out how to increase the fiber content (make oatmeal cookies).

Google Splenda recipes. Also read about cooking with Splenda. It is really not cup for cup as advertised. I have found by trial and error that you can use 1/2 of what it calls for. There are plenty of recipes there. Best Wishes for your cooking adventure.

Do you have any recipes for Diabetic Cookies, etc.?

RE: Diabetic Cookie Recipes

Any recipe that calls for 'granulated sugar' you can substitute Splenda sweetener for. This is what I use and I've had nothing but good results. If the recipe calls for 1 cup, I use 3/4 to 1 cup of Splenda. Also, if the recipe calls for 3 cups of all purpose flour, I'll use 2 cups of all purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour. I don't substitute all the 3 cups of all purpose flour with 3 cups of whole wheat flour as the finished product will be coarse and dry. With this finished product, Santa will have to have the whole carton to drink with it, instead of just a glass of milk, LOL. (12/23/2005)
