cookie recipes..

I want to make sugar-free "sugar cookies", anyone got any recipes? Actually, I need recipes for cookies that are suitable for using a cookie cutter. Thanks,

You might find some recipes on the Cooking board: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/member-interests/cooking_baking/ I know that with regular recipes for cookies, normally you can substitute equal amounts of Splenda for the sugar in a recipe. I have done it with peanut butter and cookie chip cookies when I was pre-opt. You just have to remember because they do not contain sugar there are no preservatives in them so they will spoil more quickly. We froze the cookies and took them out as needed. Mary

I got out my "Splenda Cookbook" ... here's a recipe for rolled out cookies with jam filling so I think you could easily make your cut-out cookies using this recipe: Raspberry Heart Cookies Prep Time 20 minutes Chill Time 1 hour Bake time 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees Makes 18 sandwich cookies 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/4 cup light butter, softened 1 cup SPLENDA Granular 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup egg substitute 1/4 cup water 3/4 teaspoon vinegar (white or cider) 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 cups cake flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/3 cup sugar free raspberry preserves 3 tablespoons "Powdered Sugar" (recipe below) BLEND together butters, SPLENDA Granular and vanilla extract in medium bowl. Add egg substitute, water and vinegar; mix. Add flours, salt and baking poweder. Mix with electric mixer on low speed (or by han*****ugh is formed. Scape sides and bottom of bowl. REMOVE dought from bowl and place on floured work surface. Divid dough in half and round each half into 1 inch thick flat disk. Wrap each dough portion in plastic wrap; chill 1 hour. PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Oil 18 x 12 inch bakin pan or cookie sheet. UNWRAP dough and roll out on floured work surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut with large (3x4 inches) heart-shaped cookie cutters. Cut small heart shapes out of centers of half of the cookies (these will top filled cookies). Place cookies on prepared pan. BAKE 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned on bottom. Cool on wire rack. SPRINKLE "Powdered" Sugar" over top layer cookies (with center heart cut-outs). Spread 1 teaspoon raspberry preserves on remaining cookies. Place cookies with cut-outs on top of cookies spread with raspberry preserves.

Mary, Thanks, this looks great. (I'll freeze them). I'm going to make alphabet cookies and serve a different letter each week. My granddaughter can have sugar but we try to limit her intake because, like most kids, she gets a little nuts when she's had too much... besides, I might want to nibble on them, too.

Glad I could help. I found the Splenda hard back cookbook at Barnes & Noble. It is a bright yellow cover with a photo of a piece of pie on it. Cost was just over $7. It is also available on-line. Title is Splenda. It is loaded with recipes for main dishes, soups, desserts etc. Did you know you can make brown sugar using Splenda? If you would like that recipe too, let me know and I will post it for you. Think the idea of the alphabet cookies is great. Mary

Hi, Saw this posted here, it is pretty good, my co-workers liked it. 1 cup peanut butter (use chunky if you want) 1 1/3 cup splenda ( i prefer less than a cup) 1 egg blend together, roll into walnut size balls place on greased cookie sheet. Dip fork in sweetner then flatten cookie bake at 350 for 12 minutes... preheated of course... Happy baking. MaryLyn

MaryLyn, I have made this recipe. These cookies are TOO good, so haven't made them in months. Everyone that tried them, liked them too. Mary

Mary, I brought mine to work, otherwise I would have eaten them all. MaryLyn
