Healthy Cookie Recipe: Carrot Cake Cookie

I love sweets and baked goods.  However, I believe in balance and I would not be able to live a happy life if that meant no sweets.  Being the Splenda hater I am, I was thrilled to receive a package from NuNaturals with plenty of stevia alternatives galore.  Stevia is an all natural sugar alternative with zero calories.  It was just approved last year by the FDA allowing products to move from the supplement section, to the sugar substitute isle.  Stevia, unlike splenda or equal, is natural but has a bitter taste.  In order to sell it in packet form, it has to be mixed with other ingredients.  Many leave a funny after taste.  I love Truvia and was disappointed to find out that they don’t have a baking blend (high temps can mess with the stuff).  NuNaturals has a stevia baking blend that has little to no aftertaste.  I’ve made a few recipes they provided but I decided to venture on my own and her is my success.

I usually don’t use this many ingredients in my recipes, but feel free to use Splenda instead of Stevia and Erythritol or just use 1 1/4 cups of sugar if you don’t mind the calories.   You can also use regular butter and flour.
