Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles are Amish cookies.
This is a good one for the lunch box, where you could limit the amount provided, since it's hard not to eat snickerdoodles by the half-dozen.

Snickerdoodles

* 1 3/4 cups soy flour
* 1/2 cup almond flour
* 1/2 cup oat flour
* 1 cup soft butter
* 1 3/4 cups Splenda
* 2 eggs
* 2 tsp cream of tartar
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1 tsp cinnamon

Topping :

* 1/4 cup Splenda
* 1 Tbs cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 deg F.
Sift together the flours, cream of tartar, baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon and salt. Set aside.

With a hand held mixer or the bowl of a standing mixer, cream the butter and Splenda for 3 minutes. The color should lighten noticeably. Add the eggs one at a time and blend one minute after each is added.

Stop and scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl at any time during this process when necessary to mix thoroughly. Blend in the flour mixture in 3 parts, mixing at least 20 seconds after each addition.

For the topping: Mix together the 1/4 cup Splenda and 1 Tbs cinnamon in a small bowl. Using a fork or a wire whisk, blend well to evenly combine the two.

Roll the cookie dough into walnut size balls and drop into the topping mixture roll to coat the cookie and place at least one inch apart on cookie sheet.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Makes about 30 cookies.1.5 carbs per cookie.

Talking Snickerdoodles - Yuuuuuuuuuuuuum!

Lynne, I made your Snickerdoodles last night!! They were pretty easy to make and came out really well. They had a wholesome taste to them...I had a time fighting off the non-diabetic roommates who were tearing into them (they were made for my diabetic boyfriend) and in the end I had to stash them away before they were devoured.
