My theory on artificial sweeteners is I don’t bother with them much. There is a problem with all of them.
My daughter often cooks sweets and just lessens the sugar content. Not just for my diabetic diet needs, the kids don’t need it either.
She’s experimented with lots of regular recipes. With good success.
The trick in the end is to limit yourself to one prepared (by you or store bought) treat.
It’s hard. You see a plate of brownies or cookies and it’s difficult to pass by.
I assume you’re baking for more than yourself. Normal (not dieting or restricted) persons will not like the cookies you want to make. If you can fool them into believing they are regular cookies, they’ll just think you can’t bake good cookies. Plus it’s not nice to fake people out(in fact it can be dangerous).
If you’re baking just for you. Do you see yourself just eating one? If you want to eat the whole plate, that is another problem. A problem keto/artificially sweetened cookies won’t fix.
Just make your regular “great” cookies and eat one. Save one for tomorrow and give the rest to friends and family. You’ll get a nice treat and so will they.
I think all this eating/cooking your way healthy or thin diets create false expectations and will result in failure.
Small portions is much more reliable. Don’t grab a cookie everytime you walk by the plate. Only way.
