Chocolate Chip Cookies for Special Diets

Everyone's favorite cookie can be enjoyed without any added sugar! Reviewer PromQueen says, "I have diabetes and I've tried lots of sugar-free friendly foods, but this is one of my favorites.

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
