When I used to make them, I would use the recipe on the Quaker Oatmeal
package. Never added raisins. Hate raisins in cookies. Haven't made any
oatmeal cookies in many years. Wouldn't work for me now either with my food
allergies or as a diabetic.

Thanks for the response. I thought that oatmeal was one of the good
carbs- I'm new to cooking for a diabetic- my mother-in-law was just
diagnosed and she loves oatmeal cookies so I thought I'd see what
was out there.

A good carb is one that doesn't send your bg soaring - and it's a
different response for each of us. The last time I ate oatmeal, I hit
ER-type numbers; but some people can cope with oats just fine. Get
your mother-in-law to test after eating one, see how they affect her:

This is as close as I can get:

LOW-CARB CRANBERRY SCONES by Patti Lipka

3 cups Carbquik
2 ounces butter
½ cup sour cream, regular
1 cup water
½ cup chopped cranberries
Small box cherry sugar-free Jell-O
4 ounces Eat Well Be Well Chocolate Chips
Grated zest of a fresh orange, to taste

1. Preheat oven to 410 F (210 C).

2. Sweeten the cranberries by sprinkling half of a small box of cherry
sugar-free Jell-O to the chopped cranberries. Stir the cranberries and let
them sit for a while to absorb the flavor of the Jell-O.

3. With a pastry cutter, mix the chilled butter and Carbquik, then add the
sour cream and water. Then mix in the cranberries, chocolate chips and
orange zest.

4. Scoop out the dough with a spoon and drop on slightly greased cookie
sheet in 1-ounce portions or so.

5. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown.

Servings: 15
Total Carbs Per Serving: 4g

Nick note: Take cookies out while they're soft. They'll firm up as they
cool. If you let them bake 'til they're hard, they'll firm up as they cool!

I have a recipe for pinhead oatmeal cookies . . . somewhere. ;-(

I'm afraid the "good carbs" include things like leafy green veggies and
things in the cabbage/broccoli family and other non-starchy veggies.

It's all about how *her* body responds. She might be able to get away
with 1 or 2 small oatmeal cookies late in the day, but that's for her to
determine.

There are some wonderful sweets that can be made with ground almonds
instead of flour and artificial sweeteners. Try googling and see what
you come up with.

Hi Scott,

If your MIL's glucose levels have returned to a non-diabetic
level then she might be able to get away with eating a few
oatmeal cookies. Get the recipe off the box of Quaker Oaks
and use that one, it's about the best around. I would have you
ask her to check with her doctor first to make sure she's in the
clear to start eating a few 'treats' now and again. Even a half of
a cookie helps some stave off depression which often goes hand
in hand with newly diagnosed diabetics. If she can have a cookie
or two, she should monitor her glucose level at 1, 2 and even 3hrs
afterwards to make sure she doesn't go too high. A brisk walk
within 30mins of a meal or treat will often help reduce or elimiate
a glucose rise.

Gotta pass this on to my live-at-home daughter. She's made Quaker brand
oatmeal cookies and we use a lot of coconuts. There's always one on the
counter in various stages of being scraped out.

'Ere now, mate! This Yank would appreciate it if you would post or email
your recipe to him. Thanks in anticipation of your generosity in this
regard.

Around here there are 4 sticks to a pound, so 4 oz each. That's weight.
By volume 1 stick is 1/2 cup.

OK Thanks, for some reason I thought a stick was 8 oz I always have to
convert to metric before using American recipes.
