8 drops liquid sucralose
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Put the 2 flours in a bowl and set aside. Cream all the sugars , vanilla with the butter or coconut oil , now add the flours and mix well. Form into little balls about 1 inch. Bake at 300 for about 15 minutes. You can double this recipe. It make 20 cookies. I wanted to see how I did before I made a bigger batch.

I rolled them in powdered Xylitol . You can use splenda in the big bag.
Roll them while they are still warm.

I love them. My favorite cookie.
These look great! Thank you for the recipe.
I would like to upload a picture of something i made today-- how do i do that? NM- figured it out!

Going to make the Chicken Wings by Clackley for a meeting next week (and bring lots of napkins!). I have a question about the sweetener. It says 2 Tablespoons of liquid sweetener. I know that has got to be wrong. Any suggestions?

I was likely using liquid sugar twin. I would suggest adding sweetener of your choice slowly and tasting. I think I now use liquid sucralose (Ex-Sweetz) and about 10-12 drops.

I just made Carolyn F's famous Raspberry Crumb Coffee cake that we all know and love so well. It was so pretty, I had to take a picture before it was all gone!

Mmmm. Lovely, Diana. Sure looks good, too! I have a Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffeecake very similar to Carolyn's on my site. Mine has a flax "crumb" topping also. But I haven't tried Carolyn's yet, since I'm trying to avoid desserts for awhile.

I just went to your site earlier today to get your recipe. It is quite similar, but has enough difference that I want to try yours, too.

Dumplings

For stewed chicken, soups or gnocchi. They're almost as good as the real deal! :

Biscuit made with Ouizoid's A Fantastic Flour Mix. 1/4 cup of the mix with 1 tbs Half and Half, and enough water to make a soft, droppable dough. Microwave in a round bowl for 1 minute, 45 seconds, then cut horizontally and toast with a little butter. yum!

Dinner tonight, steak strips on a bed of mixed greens, tomatoes and feta. I stir fried the steak strips in some Italian dressing for flavor.
It's not really a recipe but it was delicious.

Low Carb Thank U Berry Munch Cranberry, Macadamia Nut, White Chocolate Chip Cookies. That's a mouthful! Say that ten times fast lol

I used homemade white chocolate chips, brown sugar using erythritol and molasses mixed together and used unsweetened dried cranberries that I plumped up by soaking in some Da Vinci syrup.

Just google the name and the recipe will come up. Jamie has an awesome blog, she's very funny and posts amazing recipes.

if you can't find them online, it's easy enough to make your own. Boil fresh cranberries with a little sweetener (I use Monin blackberry syrup) for a couple of minutes until they "pop"--you can hear them.

Immediately remove them with a slotted spoon to a parchment lined cookie tray, spread them out, and bake them at 250 degrees f for a couple of hours. Every half hour or so, check and remove any that are starting to get too dry. I like them a little soft and chewy like raisins. Store in a plastic bag or container in the refrigerator. They can be frozen as well, for long-term storage.

I make these every year when the cranberries go on sale after Christmas for 50 cents a bag.

I wanted to share a pic of the chili and corn bread that we had for supper tonight. It was so good!! My own chili recipe, I don't measure but I used ground beef, a can of crushed tomatoes and a can of chipotle tomatoes, beef broth, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. The corn bread is The Chicken Ladies recipe that is on this forum. It's amazing!!!
