I eat real chocolate. You can get some that has artificial sweeteners in it,
but frankly, I think they taste awful. If they contain sweeteners ending in
"ol", they probably have just as many carbs as sugar and they can also cause
a laxative effect. I'm not sure what kind of cookies you are referring to.
I've never made any cookies in 2nd grade or otherwise that used uncooked
oatmeal. I do remember making some no-bake cookies, but I believe they
called for graham crackers and sweetened condensed milk. You might try
using unsweetened chocolate to your recipe and adding Splenda to taste.
Don't know if that will work or not.
