Introduction
I developed this recipe for my son who is unable to eat sugar, honey, wheat gluten, and many other things. They are like brownies to him. For anyone struggling with sugar addictions, these cookies will satisfy your sweet and chocolate taste without bringing on an insulin reaction. Great for diabetics also.

Good to satisfy choc cravings! Didn't have stevia, so I substituted about a tablespoon of sugar -- so they weren't very sweet. I cooked one batch for the full 12 minutes and they came out very slightly burnt. Second batch at about 10.5 minutes was fine. I've checked the oven temp and it's accurate. - 6/21/09

Thanks for the info. I'll adjust the time. It could've been my over. Also, if you don't have Truvia, you could use some extra Agave nectar or honey. It would just up the carbs and calories.
