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.

Request: Diabetic Cookie Recipes

Archived on 01/25/2010

I would like to make cookies for our neighbor who has helped our family out tremendously in little ways. I am needing some diabetic cookie recipes to make them, since the father is a diabetic. If anyone can share these with me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

RE: Diabetic Cookie Recipes

Here is my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe and can be made with sugar or for sugarfree use Splenda, not the sugar blend, but the other. As you will notice, this recipe also contains "no flour".

Low-Carb Peanut Butter Cookies

  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky), you can even use carb-conscious peanut butter.
  • 3/4 cup Splenda or 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg

Mix all three ingredients with a spoon until well combined. Drop by heaping teaspoonful or even tablespoonful on an ungreased cookie sheet. Use a fork to squish them down to the height you like. You can make the traditional crisscross pattern with your fork or vary it. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes.

You can decide how browned you like your cookies. Let them rest on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before you remove them, or if they are medium rare, they might fall apart. I like mine chewy so that's how I do them. This recipe will make about a dozen cookies depending on how large you make yours.

RE: Diabetic Cookie Recipes

Here is another cookie recipe from my files.

Sugar Free Oatmeal Cookies

Combine and beat:

  • 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup oil, blended
  • 1 cup Splenda
  • Add 2 eggs and beat until light

Combine in separate bowl:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup sour milk (or 1 teaspoon vinegar and enough milk to make 1/4 cup)

Add dry ingredients and milk alternately to egg mixture. Beat well. Add optional ingredients.

Optional:

  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Make balls about the size of a walnut. Place on greased cookie sheet. Press down with a fork. Bake about 15 minutes at 400 degrees F or until golden brown. Slide cookies off onto paper towel to cool. Store in tightly covered container.

Chocolate Cookie Drops

Cream together 1 stick softened butter, 1/3 c Splenda, 1/4 c Splenda brown sugar, 1 egg, and 1 tsp vanilla. Then add 1 c + 2 Tbsp flour, 1/2 tsp soda, dash of salt, 2 Tbsp milk, and 3/4 c Hershey's sugar free chunks.

Bake at 375 degrees F on non stick sheets or parchment for 5 to 7 minutes (You can add walnuts if you wish)

My friend Amelia at TOPS gave me this recipe and a few samples. (12/15/2006)

RE: Diabetic Cookie Recipes

I personally much prefer to use a natural sweetener, as it is much easier for the body to digest, and has no health risks due to the fact that it is natural. I use Xylitol, but there are several different ones that you can try. Xylitol is the same sweetness as sugar and has 30% fewer calories than sugar. (03/09/2008)

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)
