Diabetic Cookies
Diabetic Cookies are a considerate treat designed to suit those monitoring their sugar intake, without compromising on flavor or texture. These cookies boast a rich, spiced aroma from the M-K Ground Cinnamon and M-K Ground Nutmeg, with seedless raisins providing natural sweetness. The use of liquid sweetener ensures they remain sugar-free, making them a safer option for diabetics. Optional nuts add an additional layer of texture and depth. Delightfully soft and flavorful, these cookies are perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, providing a health-conscious alternative to the typical sugar-laden cookie.
