Almost Sugar Free Meringue Cookies

Almost Sugar Free Meringue Cookies

 

At my house we are trying not to eat sugar or at least keep it to a minimum due to my husband’s diabetes, but you know, sometimes you really want something sweet.  These cookies do contain bittersweet chocolate chips, which of course, have sugar in them, but the cookie part is made of meringue and sucralose.   Yes, I know all the sucralose is not exactly health food, but when you take the sugar and flour out of cookies, you end up with something pretty low in carbohydrates, which means less of a blood pressure spike.

For this recipe, I used egg whites out of the carton.  With no egg yolk use on the horizon, I just hated to throw the yolks away.  These cookies end up very delicate.  They are easily broken or crumbled, so do be a little careful with them.
