Cookies

Like cakes, cookies can be made only with particular sweeteners. Cookies need sweeteners with bulk and if you want crispy cookies, the sweetener needs to have the ability to "crisp".

This was quite evident to me when I was experimenting with making chocolate chip cookies. Rice syrup made a crispy cookie and vegetable glycerin made a soft cookie. So if you are experimenting yourself with substituting a natural sweetener for sugar, you need to match the characteristic of the cookie with the characteristic of the sweetener.

Also like cakes, most cookies contain flour. If you are watching carbs, the flour will add carbs even if the sweetener doesn't. Choose recipes with added nuts, which often reduces the amount of flour (and carbs) in the recipe.
