I want to be able to give the physical therapists and the receptionist at my chiropractor's office a little Christmas gift. I'm going to make chocolate dipped pretzel rods for the physical therapists but the receptionist is a diabetic. Does anyone have a good and EASY Christmas cookie recipe I could bake up for her?

Cindi, I thought I could too but the recipes I've found also use chocolate chips so to me that's not diabetic. I just might make it easy on myself and make the bag of nuts as you suggested.Originally Posted by cindi
not off the top of my head..but you can use any recipe and switch splenda for the sugar. Nuts are great for diebetic people too, so you could make a bag of nuts and make a cute bag topper.

There are sugar free Choc Chips at Walmart. There are coming out with ALOT more S/F & reduced sugar stuff. I've yet to try any diabetic recipes.
I found this website- http://diabeticgourmet.com/recipes/H...serts/Cookies/
My DH is diabetic and for him it's just important to know how many carbs are in each serving. He can't/won't eat anything that he doesn't know nutrition values for. Hope that helps. Not knowing means not eating for him.......

OMG! That is a great site!!!!! Lots of times the so-called diabetic sites/recipes are diabetic friendly just because they have the nutritional values listed. I've seen diabetic recipes that are soooo not good for you. This site has truly good recipes. TFS!

Joanne,
I found my diabetic desserts cookbook.
I have an easy-sounding cookie recipe for Holiday Thumbprint Cookies.
Let me know if you want me to post it for you.

Oh yes Joanie. I would love to get the recipe. Thanks.

I have this recipe from Mr. Food's Quick & easy Diabetic cookbook. It does have the American Diabetes Association symbol on it.
I have made the recipe. So the cookies are good.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1stick) butter , softened
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 375. Coat baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar and granulated sugars, the butter and applesauce until smooth. Beat
in the egg whites and vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour until smooth. With a spoon , stir in the oats and chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded teaspoons onto the baking sheet 2 to 3 inches apart. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
