My dad has diabetes...Ever since he was diagnosed with diabetes he loves sweets even more...
So i though why not try something healthy, sweet(sugar substitute), low calorie too..

I took the recipe for yo yo cookies from sharmi's passion...do check out sharmi's blog...she has absolutely beautiful collection of recipes with lovely photos .

I transformed that recipe to make healthy cookies with sugar substitute :)

Here is my recipe :)

Ingredients

Whole Wheat Flour - 1 cup
Sugarfree natura - 4 tbspn
Amul lite butter - 125 gms
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Vanilla flavoured custard powder - 1/4 cup



Method

Bring the lite butter to room temperature
Cream the butter with sugarfree natura and mix vanilla essence
shift custard powder and whole wheat flour and add it to the butter mixture
Now chill this dough for 20mins
Take it out and make it into small balls and flatten into 1/2inch thickness
Preheat the oven at 170C
Bake the cookies for about 15 mins.
Cool them in a wire rack and enjoy :)
