I found these spelt cookies that are amzing and sugar free. I saw they have maltitol in them, and didn't think much of that until I looked it up and saw it is called an "alcohol sugar." I don't really know what this means.

But these cookies have only spelt flower, maltitol, and hazelnuts in them, and they are amazing. If I have to give them up I'm going to be bummed!

It is really the only carb I let myself have all day, if at all, and the cookies aren't real big.

I found this article(www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3298708) that states it doesn't mess with the blood glucose as much as sugar does.

So while it's better to use than sugar, it's not as good as using something like Stevia which doesn't affect the blood glucose at all.

So how would they taste with a little cinnamon on them? Cinnamon is known to level out glucose spikes!

Thanks, Traveler.

I appreciate the help. I can certainly try putting a little cinnamon on them!

I wish she used Stevia in these things, because then they'd be absolutely perfect.

Hopefully the cinnamon goes well with them!! :-)
