Diabetic Cowboy Cookies (Sugar-Free & Ultra-Low Calorie)

 Description

These soft, lightly crisp cookies are a guilt-free dessert made with only three simple ingredients.

Inspired by classic cowboy cookies—but reinvented for health.

 Ingredients (3 Only)

 Optional flavor boosters (don’t count as ingredients):

  • Cinnamon

  • Vanilla extract

  • Salt (pinch)

  4. Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips

  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto tray
