It didn’t seem fair that I was making all sorts of holiday goodies and my husband couldn’t enjoy any of them. So I decided I’d make a batch of diabetic friendly Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies for him. What make these friendly for him?
- They use whole wheat flour, oatmeal, and flax seed
- Baking Splenda

This batch turned out a more appealing consistency than the last batch which wasn’t as soft as I wanted it to be. They were so tasty that others tried them and didn’t realize they were “sugar free”. Whoot! My next challenge is to figure out how to make peanut butter cookies that are spouse friendly. Guessing that may turn out to be more of a challenge.
