1/8 cup diabeti sweet brown

1/4 cup crisco green

In large mixer bowl, stir carbquik, soda, salt, not/Sugar, and diabeti sweet brown together. Add remaining ingredients except chocolate and mix at medium speed until well combined, scraping bowl occasionally. Chill dough 30 mins.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Roll small amounts of dough into 1 inch balls and then roll in diabeti sweet white to coat.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until light brown.
Remove from oven and immediately press chocolate into the center of each cookie.

Although very tasty, they were more crumbly when warm than I remember the HC version being.

Kevin,

What can you use in place of Crisco green? I can get Crisco, is there a difference? Sorry if a silly question. I need recipes with everyday items and I am looking for a standard cookie batter to do whatever I want with. Got any ideas?

Thanks

I use the crisco in the green can because it has alot less trans fat in it. If you are ok with using reg crisco that will work fine. There are sereral other non trans fat shortenings that would work.....they are just not availible to me around where I live.

where do you get your ingredients such as carb quick, sweetfree, diabetic sweet brown? ive never heard of these and i've been dying to make low carb cookies for some time.

I think you can order all this or most of it at Netrition.com

They ship for a flat fee to the continental 48 states.

Good luck and enjoy those recipes!

Earth Balance is one of the widely available brands that makes a shortening without trans frat.

What is sweetzfree? Can it be substituted with something else?

Sweetzfree is just liquid Splenda. You can use granular but be careful to count the carbs because it has 24 grams per cup. Sweetzfee can be found here and it has zero carbs.

Hope that helps!
