Yum E.!

Made these cookies this week, Karen. What a hit. Specially for those who don't like sweets. I went around making everyone try them and then saying "Guess what they're made with?!!" No one would believe me!

Nat

I did the same thing too! It spooked people! LOL!

I just just constructed sandwich cookies from the ones I made with cream cheese mixed with butter, AS and orange extract. Double Yum E.

Karen

Now that sounds decadent. Posting the recipe soon?????????

BTW, the No Bake Cheesecake was a success, yet again. I am looking forward to unleashing the Tiramisu on my family tomorrow!

Keep those treats coming.

Dearest Karen,
I made these and really enjoyed the Pfeffernusse flavour (used extra strong Korinth cinnamon and a Thai dried ginger with a kick like white pepper).

However, would beating the wet ingredients in a blender have caused a certain, ahem, dryness, in the end product? Really dense and dry (though QUITE acceptable with cream cheese sandwiching as I also discovered!).

Thanks for your assistance!

No, they are kind of cakey and dry. That's the sad thing about LC cookies.

Karen

Thanks again, Karen.

PS: I found a wetted fork easier to use than an oiled glass for the flattening... the dough kept sticking to the glass, oil or no oil... hmmm.

I have just baked mine in a 8 by 8 square pan for 20 mins and am going to ice them with your cream cheese filling (thank you) and voila spice squares......Did not have time to make like cookies....They smell devine ;0

Ok I just threw these out My tongue is numb and burning and the back of throat feels strange with a strange bitter aftertaste. I have never baked with suger twin or splenda and am wondering if I have just experienced that bitter after taste sensation that people talk about???? (or an allergic reaction.... to splenda or suger twin..) I wonder if I should not have baked them in a square pan???

Did you use the bulk, measures-like-sugar Splenda and Sugar Twin or the individual packets?

Karen

I thought the packets and bulk splenda were interchangeable? I just went and bought a box of 700 packets.. please tell me they are..

They are interchangeable but you can't use the same amount of the packets as you can of the bulk. The packets are equivalent to 2 tsp. of sweetness so if you open all the packets to get 1/2 cup, you would be extremely overdoing it in the sweetness department. The bulk has more filler to make it easier to use.

To figure out how many of the packets to use, first figure out how many teaspoons there are in the amount. In 1/2 cup there are 24 teaspoons of sweetness so you would use only 12 of the packets.

Karen

Used the bulk ones. I really think I had a reaction to something in there. The raging headache is almost gone but my thongue has gone back to normal size and is no longer burning or numb and that bitter taste along with the funny sensesation at the back of my throat is gone. Those cookies smelled so good I had had a small square (to test them YUM YUM) the went back for more a few minutes later and bamn .......

That's a bummer! Have you ever used either one for sweetening in anything else?

Karen

never use them before at all except to sweeten tea but then used the packets of suger twin......tried spendra once before 1/2 tsp in T yesterday was my first day at baking thus my first time using them in bulk......Ya know I just went three weks with out. maybe baked goods and I are not meant to be.....The low carb bread turned out really good
