I'm sure my diabetic fater-in-law will enjoy these cookies. I love the taste, too. Very easy to prepare & delicious!!!

Great recipe. Since it called for granular splenda and not the blend, the first batch was a little dry. I modified it by adding 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Love these!

I also used craisins. I soaked them in warm water for 1/2 hour first and then drained the water before adding them. This added just enough moisture to make them softer. I think it may also have removed some of the sugar coating on the craisins so that may help with calorie count.

YUM! I love these. Just took the thrid batch out... almost 2 batches gone. Whoops. I put semi sweet chocolate chips in mine, I don't care for raisins. My kids love them as well. THANK YOU!! :)
