SUGAR AND SPICE COOKIES
These have been a favorite since I was a little girl. I remember eating these in front of the TV watching "Romper room". The dough is quite soft, so I always put it in the fridge between baking batches for easier rolling.

SUGAR FREE OATMEAL RAISIN SPICE COOKIES MIX IN A JAR
My personal version of a recipe I found on www.budget101.com. I wanted to do more than just have a good sugar free cookie since the starchy carbs in the flour will also jack blood sugar. This version comes out fantastic! They are more cake like than a standard crisp cookie and stay wonderfully moist in a cookie jar. Not that they will actually last long enough to worry.

Steps:
- Carefully measure each ingredient into layers in a 1 quart jar. Re-used glass ice tea jars work great as well. Judicious us of a slim rolled paper cone does wonders to keep the layers clean. If mix is to be shipped ingredients may be measured into a clear plastic disposable pastry bag or decorative food safe cello bag to reduce shipping weight and then carefully tied closed.
- Be sure to attach instruction card or label with the following directions: Combine above listed ingredients (from the list of "additionally to make cookies from mix") with 1 package of "Sugar Free Oatmeal Cookie Mix". Drop by cookie scoopfuls 1" - 2" apart onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake 10 - 15 minutes at 350oF. Cookies do not spread much so will still be rather round and cake like. Allow to cool 5 minutes on baking sheets before carefully removing to cooling racks to completely cool. Store in a cool dry place.

Tips:
- For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- If you don't have almond flour, you can use oat flour or coconut flour instead.
- Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Too much or too little of any ingredient can affect the outcome of the cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and texture.
