We're going to see our cousins after two years...both our families are pretty health-freakish now, so I want to bake them sugar-free cookies. Does anyone have easy recipes for these? We can't eat gelatin, though.

Their family doesn't like Splenda...say it has a weird aftertaste.

1 cup reduced calorie margarine, such as Fleischmann's® or Imperial® (Note: For best results, do not use margarine with less than 60% fat)
8 ounces Philadelphia® Neufchatel (light) cream cheese, at room temperature
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 jar (10 oz.) raspberry or any flavor of spreadable fruit
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Dough:
Cream together margarine and cream cheese with an electric mixer. Blend in the vanilla extract. Still using the electric mixer, mix in the flour. Chill dough at least 1 hour.
Filling:
Mix together the chopped raisins, walnuts and cinnamon. If you have a food processor, place the whole walnuts and raisins into the bowl, sprinkle with the cinnamon and chop them together by processing in short pulses.
Cookie Preparation:
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a 10 to 12-inch circle, 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured board or between two sheets of waxed paper. Spread a light layer of spreadable fruit (approx. 2 tablespoons) onto each dough circle. Sprinkle each circle with aproximately 1/4 cup of the chopped raisin-nut mixture. Using a pastry or pizza cutter, cut each circle into 16 wedges. Roll each wedge from base to point. Place point down on lightly greased or parchment lined baking sheets. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden. Remove to racks to cool.

Replace the sugar of any cookie recipe with Splenda. That's probably the only thing you can replace for sugar...otherwise It's not gonna taste right.

If you are trying to bake for a diabetic, cutting out just the sugar will do nothing. The flour will spike the glucose level just as the sugar does. Have a piece of fruit instead.

all you have to do is use splenda instead of sugar...it measures cup for cup just like sugar.....tastes the same
