More people are making personal choices about sugar consumption. Some-diabetics, for example-must watch sugar intake as part of their carbohydrate-controlled diet. Others practice moderation in all areas of their diet and simply prefer to eat less sugar. According to a recent Dieting Monitor, 60.8 percent of consumers said they were trying to cut down on sugar. As a result, many adults are seeking alternatives to snacks that typically contain sugar, but they still want fun treats that taste good. Today there are more products out there to meet that demand.
Sugar-free cookies offer another choice for sugar-conscious people who want a sweet-tasting snack, and there are a number of varieties on the market. New recipes and baking technologies have dramatically improved their taste. In fact, Murray? Sugar Free made news recently when it released taste tests that showed that their sugar-free chocolate chip cookies taste as good as original Chips Ahoy! cookies. Products like these can be a great way for consumers to bridge the gap between satisfying their sweet tooth and eating desserts and snacks with less sugar.
Sugar-free cookies can also be the basis for some great no-added-sugar dessert recipes. Try this one for creamy Pistachio Chocolate Chip Parfaits.
