36 cookies

ingredients
- 118.29 ml butter (or margarine)
- 4.92 ml vanilla
- 295.73 ml flour
- 2.46 ml baking soda
- 2.46 ml baking powder
- 118.29 ml Splenda sugar substitute (NOTE Splenda is sweeter than sugar. If you are afraid of Splenda you will have to increase this meas)
- 118.29 ml sunflower seed butter (I like the crunchy kind, buy in the organic section)
- 1 egg
- 1.41 g unsweetened baking cocoa (Just enough to sprinkle on top)
directions
- In mixing bowl beat butter & sunflower-butter on med to high for 30 seconds.
- Add 1/2 cup of flower, egg, splenda, baking powder & soda and vanilla.
- Beat until thoroughly combined.
- Beat in remaining flour.
- Cover & chill dough so it is easier to handle. (About 20 minutes)
- Shape into 1 inch balls & place on ungreased cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart from each other.
- flatten by crisscrosing with the tines of a fork.
- Sprinkle the coco over each flattened cookie.
- Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. (NOTE: splenda does not allow cookies to brown. Test to see if they are done by lightly feeling the middle of a cookie. If it still feels like raw cookie dough they are not done.)
- Cool on a wire rack.
- The great thing about these cookies is that once they cool, they turn a bright mossy green inside! This is great for your spooky Halloween party! (I call them swamp cookies for the party).

<br>I Found out I was Diabetic in 2004.
<br>#1 Pet Peeve: People who are afraid of sugar free items.
<br>#2 Pet Peeve: People who think all sugar free items taste bad because they tried one piece of thier grandparents diabetic candy 10-20 years ago.
<br>#3 Pet Peeve: People who say they eat healthy when their menu contains lots of butter, potatoes & sugar.
<br>#4 Pet Peeve: People who rate other people's reciepes low just because they do not like that person.
<br>#5 Pet Peeve: People who post Diabetic reciepes that still use up to 1/2 a cup of regular sugar. I mean, HELLO; That sugar will still spike Blood Gloucose Levels!!!!
