As a diabetic I am always looking for ways to transform dishes I have enjoyed my whole life and don't want to give up. I love baking with Great Value Granulated No Calorie Sweetener; which I used to make these cookies. The cookies are moist yet light. I think the perfect macaroon. And so easy! Hope you enjoy these as much as my family does.
