Sugar Free Cookies for Diabetics

Everyone loves cookies, however, if you are following a low sugar or no-sugar diet/lifestyle you know you can't simply reach for the cookie jar every time you get the urge.

Most cookie recipes use refined flour with granulated sugar both are something you need to watch when you are living with diabetes.

The good news is that now there are low-carb, high fiber options that won't raise or spike your blood glucose level.

So how do you make sugar free cookies taste good? As you'll see from the recipes featured below, some of them use sugar substitutes such as honey, maple syrup, stevia or even agave.

Using substitutes like these are a great way to add flavor to cookie recipes while removing the sugar.
