These cookie bars are a delight. My diabetic DH loved them and so did I. I followed the recipe except for using another brand of sugar free syrup and another brand of sugar free fruit spread. Especially delightful was the moistness of the cookie itself. Thank you.

Very good bar cookies. Moist, tender with a flavor similar to a Quaker Oats Breakfast Bar but without that vitamin aftertaste. My non-diabetic BH loves them. More importantly, so does my diabetic dad. I made with strawberry flavor 100% fruit spread.

I made this for my son and the rasberry spread was too much. I substituted Smuckers sugar free instead of Polaners so that may be the reason for the strong taste. Maybe using half a cup instead of one cup of spread would help. This was an easy recipe to make.
