As we enter into exams and the most stressful time of year, become everyone of your friends saving grace with a small treat of sugarless heart cookies. Wrap them up and deliver them when they are the most stressed out. They will be thankful for the treat, but also thankful that you took the time to make the healthy choice.
Sugarless Heart Cookies
To make these cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
3/4 cup margarine, softened
1 package (0.3 ounces) mixed fruit sugar-free gelatine
Egg substitute equivalent to 1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, cream together the margarine and gelatine. Beat in the egg substitute and vanilla. Mix together the flour and baking powder and add to the egg mixture, mixing well. Chill for one hour.
Preheat your oven to 400. Roll the dough mixture out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out cookies with heart-shaped cookie cutters (or any shape you desire). Place the cookies on an un-greased baking sheet and bake for six to seven minutes or until the bottoms are lightly browned and the cookies are set. Cool on wire racks.
Yields about six dozen. (72 cookies, das allota cookies.)
Diabetic Exchanges: One serving (2 cookies) equals 1/2 starch, 1/2 fat, 59 calories, 49 mg sodium, trace cholesterol, 5 gm carbohydrate, 1 gm protein, 4 gm fat.
Note: You can change the taste of these cookies by trying different flavours of gelatine.
