Add a few of these recipes to your Christmas Cookies list this holiday season.

Whether you make them yourself or buy premade ones from a store, diabetic cookies are the perfect way to show that you care.

They are usually made with low-sugar or sugar-free ingredients, so they won't spike blood sugar levels like regular cookies.

There's no sense even trying to eat a cookie that tastes bad or tastes like cardboard. They will just sit in the cookie tin untouched.

Some of the recipes featured here today are quick and simple. Which in my book, is what a cookie recipe should be; especially around the holidays.

What are the Best Cookies for Diabetics?

The best cookies for diabetics are those made with sugar-free or low-sugar ingredients. Look for recipes that use alternative sweeteners such as stevia, erythritol, and monk fruit.

These natural sweeteners have a much lower glycemic index than regular sugar so they won't spike blood sugar levels. Other ingredients such as nut butters, coconut oil, and flaxseeds can also be added for flavor and nutrition.

• Honey
• Maple syrup
