Sugar cookies... the word alone! How about HEALTHY cookies for a change? The poor lady in the picture for this article says it all, doesn't she? And with healthy, I don't mean unedible low-fat-horror recipies, but sugar-free recipies!

I'm with Bronto1958; where are the sugar-free recipies? With all the overweight,
pre-diabetic kids out there, who by the way will consume most of the cookies,
one would hope that some Mommies have brains enough to use sugar-free
recipies for their baking.

The sugar free cookies are the one I'm looking for too. The traets should not threaten future health!

Hey, What no one makes Gingersnaps at home.
Gingersnaps is tops on my list. I use a family handed down recipe.

Sugar free cookies? It's a cookie not a carrot stick.
