Post a CommentThese cookies sound great. I will try it because my neice is a diabetic. She was diagnosed with it when she was 12 years old and has Type I. So this is great.
Merry Christmas...
Thanks for all the nice comments. My hubby has been in bad shape in and out of the hospital, so I haven't been around much. That going back and forth to the hospital keeps me pretty well done in. I miss you all though. Hugs Robbie

Nice one, will be passing it onto my friends who are or who look after others who are diabetic. plus friend who weight watch, lol, thanks :-)
Thanks for a helpful recipe :) Sheri
These sound delicious!
You know, that actually sounds good, even without lots of sugar and fat. Do you know if it would work okay without the cocoa? Or is it just for a little flavor? Doesn't sound like it would be enough to make it really chocolate.
