If you are in need of something a little sweet these cookies will do the trick. Even though this was my first time making the cookies I played around with the recipe a little. Instead of using Splenda or other sugar substitute I used real sugar but cut the amount in half. Now I know the point of the GI Diet is to try to eliminate sugar from your diet but I am not a fan of artificial sweeteners and I find most recipes turn out well and still taste sweet enough if I use just a touch of real sugar. I won't make these cookies all the time, not because of the taste but because I would consider this a special treat and my 10% cheat of the week. (on the GI Diet you are allowed to cheat 10% of the time)
SERVED WITH: A cup of coffee or tea
COOKING TIPS: Don't over bake the cookies. The 10 minutes cook time suggested is just perfect.
RATING: 8. These cookies don't have the chewy texture of a traditional cookie and are a touch dry but still a nice treat.
