Splenda Cookies for my Cookie Monster

When my sweetheart and I first got together, he ate massive amounts of regular vanilla crème filled cookies. Being a diabetic, this was not good for him. So, he finally gave them up. I told him that the SPLENDA® Brand had come out with a white and dark brown sugar that I could use like sugar to make him cookies with. He loved the idea. Now I make about 3 or more recipes a week. Most of all, he loves his cookies made with SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener! And that makes my Cookie Monster very happy!!! - Lisa S. and John G. in Phx, AZ.

My husband was diagnosed with diabetes about 5 years ago. Of course then he had to change his diet. He really likes Kool-Aid and had to give it up. He tried other sweeteners but they didn't taste the same. Then about a year ago, to my surprise, I found SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener made just for Kool-Aid. I bought a pack and my husband tried it, and he loves it. Now, we buy it all the time, but the real bonus is our kids like it too. Before we were spending a lot more money on soda and I was constantly monitoring the kids soda consumption. Now they prefer SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener and Kool-Aid. Even my 9 year old can make a pitcher. It's too easy. I also have to mention that I tried the SPLENDA® Sugar Blend and SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend to make cookies, they turned out awesome. My kids call them "mom's famous half the sugar chocolate chip cookies". I even used the Brown Sugar Blend to make toffee during the holidays. I wanted to see if anyone could tell the difference but everyone just munched away and I didn't tell them until after they ate several pieces. I think with that experiment I gave SPLENDA® Brand a few new customers.

I am 79 years old and have been baking since I was 6 years old. My Mother used to sit me on a stool, open a cookbook, get out a measuring cup, and tell me she sure was hungry for some chocolate cake. Since I had learned to read, she was sure I could make her some by following the recipe. So that was my introduction to baking and cooking. To make a long story short, after 70 years of cooking and baking, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and started to use SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener instead of sugar, and began a love affair with the product. At Christmas time I made your Oatmeal Raisin cookies and my whole family said they were the best I had ever made. I didn't tell them what I had used until New Years and they were all shocked. I made some new customers for you at that very moment. I may be older than most, but I am open to change, thank goodness, and my doctor is very happy with my numbers.

My students and I

My name is Irma. I am a chef in the Ritz Carlton. I spend my spare time in a senior citizen’s home called la casa boricua, teaching seniors how to enjoy the passion for pastries. I teach them how to prepare wonderful sweets to enjoy and to pass on to others. I hope you enjoy SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener as much as my pupils and I enjoy it.

I use SPLENDA® for just about everything that needs sugar and it does a fine job in baking. Sometimes a substitute changes a recipe but not SPLENDA®. It's a great product!

I absolutely LOVE SPLENDA® Products! I have been using the packets for the last year or so and can’t tell you the last time I used real sugar. Also, my husband (who’s afraid to try anything) uses SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend every morning in our oatmeal!

I’d love to take the time to mention how I LOVE your SPLENDA® Products. I started a diet and the use of SPLENDA®... I even got my fiance hooked on it. It’s so tasty! Thank you SPLENDA®!!!

I am a huge lover of your product SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener!!! I can’t tell you what a great impact it’s had on my life. I am down just under 40lbs with another 30 to go! I could not have come this far without SPLENDA®.

I have been using SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener for a long time to cut out excessive sugar in my diet and my family's diet. I use the individual packets in my coffee and other beverages, both cold and hot. I use the larger bags to bake with. I have also used the SPLENDA® Sugar Blend products, both regular and brown sugar. There are eight people in my family - my husband, five boys, and one girl. I feel that if I can cut their intake of refined sugars in half, then I have done my job. If I sprinkle SPLENDA® on their fruit, they don't even notice the difference.
