Debunking the Lie- You CAN Have REALLY Nommy Desserts!!!

When I went on this diet I was devastated... no cookies??  no brownies??  no dessert!!!???

NOOOOOO!!!!!!


I thought I was done... I knew I could substitute the butter... I could substitute the sugar... but the brown sugar killed me.  Then I found this...

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen.... BROWN SUGAR SUBSTITUTE!!!  No calories... only 1 gram of carbs per tsp!!  WHAT???  Cookies HERE I COME!!  So here's my recipe of the day... I found the original recipe on Taste of Home.  It was in their low carb, low fat section.... but we can do better!!

Here's my take on the recipe:
