So their fairly low carb count per cookie was more a reflection of the
fact they weight like crunchy air than of having as little sugar as they
could get away with. *Sigh. *Thanks for the training.

I've also seen LC sugar-free versions in some supermarkets which use
polydextrose or similar. But
the problem with all of them is that it's hard to stop at
one or two. I can easily eat half a bag or more at a
time. And if you're buying them from a store, it gets
expensive quick.
