Chocolate Chip Cookies for Special Diets

Everyone's favorite cookie can be enjoyed guilt-free! Reviewer PromQueen says, "I have diabetes and I've tried lots of sugar-free friendly foods, but this is one of my favorites.

I have received all praise and 'I can't believe it is sugar-free.' The sugar can be put back in if you want. Either way, it is wonderful."

Instant Millionaire Pie for Diabetics

This classic holiday pie is made sugar-free without any bad aftertaste you sometimes get with artificial sweetener. Reviewer Heather says, "I made two of these pies for Thanksgiving. Everyone loved them. You never would have guessed they were made without sugar!"

Pam's Sugar Free Chocolate Pie

"I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes right before Thanksgiving and was looking for ways to cut back on carbs but still enjoy the holidays. This was so delicious! Someone mentioned putting in peanut butter, so I added a layer of peanut butter to the bottom of my graham cracker crust pie shell, made the pudding, and then folded in some whipped cream to make it more 'mousse-y.' This was incredibly good, and I didn't miss my sugar at all!" — VCHARLIE
