Sugar-Free Ginger Spice Cookies Recipe
"Enjoy these gluten-free and Paleo ginger cookies without all the sugar. My dad is diabetic, so I’m always trying to find ways to make tasty treats for him that won’t raise his blood sugar levels. This is one of them! A great way to add a bit of extra sweetness for your non-diabetic family and friends is to put in some raisins (or change the stevia to honey). We don’t love stevia (check out this article about it), but if you have blood sugar issues, then it can be a sweetener to consider if you want to make Paleo desserts."
