Without sugar or a suitable substitute, all you'll have is
cooked egg whites. Sugar is what makes those cookies
hard. A substitute is polydextrose. But IMO, whether the
original or LC, they are not close to a substitute for protein
bars. They are like air puffs, iwth not much at all to them.

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.
