Diabetic Oatmeal Cookie Recipe

Are you promising you to start the new year on a note healtier? Perhaps you or someone you know been recently diagnosed as diabetic or maybe you just want to reduce the sugar in the diet of your family. Here are some cookie recipes for you to try. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when I was sixty. I experiment with recipes without sugar all the time. My granddaughter loves me 4 years in the kitchen. I think she likes to eat sugar free cookies the same as the "sugar" the. If you start the kiddos on less sugar when they are young, you're doing them a favor and they do not even realize they are eating healthier. The Bananan-Sugarless Oatmeal Cookies are good initially. Bananas add moisture (a problem in cooking without sugar) and natural sweetness. Jno Sugar Added Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are also good as a cookie oatmeal adds a little moisture and raisins add natural sweetness.
