x-mas cookies with Splenda

[Guest guest]

Hi all. It's that time of year. Have the kids home and decided to bake a

batch of cookies with them. I used Splenda and Land O' Lakes Margarine

in the cookies, according to the kids, came out " awesome " . Tim stopped

by before and tried one and couldn't tell the difference. My stomach is

still wishy-washy, so not going to attempt them just yet. Actually, it's

probably safer to bake this way, no tasting. : )

Just thought I'd let you know about the butter cookies with Splenda in

case any of you are in that baking mode. May attempt linzer tarts

tomorrow with the Splenda.

Regina,

The oven can be hot......and then there is the all too dangerous wooden

spoon and mixer. BE CAREFUL!!! How close to a hot oven can you get wrapped

in bubble wrap??

Not very, melted plastic gets all kinds of stringy and makes you feel like you

got

hit in the face with a spider web. Not a pretty sight. Was extremely careful.

Used

nothing electric with the exception of the oven and have heavy duty Pampered

Chef

pot holders so I was well protected.

Thank goodness I'm not sensitive, otherwise, I'd start to get a complex

here.

PS: Since I'm now wearing size 12/14, I don't mind wearing off white at

all.

Hi Cindy Lou:

Butter Cookie Recipe is as follows:

1 cup of butter ( I usually use margarine)

1/2 cup of sugar (Splenda)

1 tsp. of vanilla extract

1 egg

2 1/2 cups of flour

1/4 tsp of salt (I never use it)

Cream butter, sugar, vanilla and egg. Gradually add flour and salt.

You can either use a cookie gun if you have one or you can roll out the

dough with flour

Bake 375 degrees 12 minutes Makes approximately 80 cookies.

Hope you enjoy the recipe.

Sometimes I'll split the batch and put food coloring in it. I've made green

christmass trees. I've also braided the dough into little wreaths and had

them half green and red. That was when I was ambitious and had no children I

had to worrry getting dough stuck all over the place.

Hope you enjoy the cookies.

Regina

***********************

For those that didn't see it, I posted a couple of weeks ago about my

conversation with the Splenda people about brown sugar. They suggested 3/4

cup Splenda mixed with 1-2 tbs SF maple syrup.

She also sent me a couple of recipes for almost SF pumpkin pie and banana

bread. If anyone would like the recipes, just email me. If I get a lot of

requests, I'll post it to the list. They even look easy enough to make for a

non-cook like me.

I got sugar free maple syrup at Cracker Barrel that is SO wonderful!!!

Tastes like REAL maple syrup. Not as thick, but it is really tasty.

I will have to try the brown sugar with Splenda idea.

Last night we had our support groups Christmas party, and they order a

sheet cake from a local bakery that was sugar free. It was SO good! I

am gonna have to beg them to tell me what they used. But it is great to

know that for special occasions I can get a sugar free cake now.

Blessings,

Cindy Lou
