Halloween is just a week away. If your house is like mine, you probably already have bags of sweets and candy coming out of your ears. Push them aside and whip up a batch of these Not-So-Scary Monster Cookies. Thanks to Truvía®, you get a delicious cookie that has with less sugar and calories than the full sugar version.
Life with less sugar is just as sweet! Truvía® is an easy substitution for sugar or honey in any of your recipes. Simply replace 1 cup of sugar with a 1/2 cup of Truvía® Baking Blend (or just a 1⁄2 tsp of Truvía® Nectar to replace one tsp of honey) to get the same sweetness as sugar or honey with at least 50% fewer calories per serving. That quick and easy substitution yields a lightened up version of your best recipes while maintaining the sweet taste you’ve come to love.
Your whole family will love these cookies. They are colorful, fun and great for folks with food sensitivities. The cookies are flourless and made with gluten-free ingredients. They taste amazing and are super simple to make. Grab the kids, a few ingredients and whip up a batch to celebrate the season.
