SHARING MY COOKIE RECIPES !!!!

Since it is getting closer to Christmas I have had lots email me for cookie recipes.....especially since I am baking some of these for the breakfast this weekend.    So I thought that I would share these with you.   Some I have tried and some I hope to try.    Some are absolutely wonderful in my opinion....such as the Oatmeal Almond Lace cookies...trust me these are to DIE for IMHO !!!!  LOL  Anyway here are some SF cookie recipes.   Remember though...most are baked with Spenda blend....which is splenda and  sugar.    Also remember just because they are SF or low sugar...they are NOT calorie free so please us caution and don't eat too many.   I don't want to be blamed if anyone gets dumping syndrome from eating these....so PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS !!!!!!  Enjoy them !!!!!



Gingersnaps
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups almond flour 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons vital wheat gluten
2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 cup softened butter
2/3 cup granular Splenda 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar Twin *
1 teaspoon dark molasses 4 teaspoons DaVinci Sugarfree Gingerbread syrup
1 teaspoon sugar free vanilla extract 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon salt
Diabetisweet or granulated maltitol/erythritol for sprinkling on cookies (optional)
Preheat oven to 300 F.

Cream butter with Splenda, molasses, and Brown Sugar Twin in a large bowl. Add DaVinci Sugarfree Gingerbread syrup and spices and mix well. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, sift together almond flour, vital wheat gluten, and baking soda. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture. Combine to make a stiff dough.

Form into small balls and place on greased cookie sheet at least 1" apart.

Bake at 300 F for 24 minutes. After first five minutes in the oven, press cookies down a bit flat. If using Diabetisweet to sprinkle tops, do this now. Continue baking, being careful not to burn and adjusting time for your oven.

Makes 20 - 24 cookies. Approximately 1.3 grams of carbohydrate per cookie

Preheat over to 400. Mix together butter and sugar until smooth, then add the eggs, cream of tarter and baking soda. Mix in flour, until well mixed. roll balls into 1 inch diameter and roll in the cinanmin mixture. Place on un greesed cookie sheets and baake 8-10 minutes ( I found 8 mins goes well with my oven) Cookies are done when they just barely turn brown
