* 2 teaspoons baking soda
* 1/2 cup softened butter
* 2/3 cup granular Splenda

for sprinkling on cookies (optional) [Gingersnaps]
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Cream butter with Splenda, molasses, and Brown Sugar Twin in a large bowl. Add DaVinci Sugarfree Gingerbread syrup and spices and mix well. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, sift together almond flour, vital wheat gluten, and baking soda. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture. Combine to make a stiff dough.
Form into small balls and place on greased cookie sheet at least 1" apart.
Bake at 300°F for 24 minutes. After first five minutes in the oven, press cookies down a bit flat. If using Diabetisweet to sprinkle tops, do this now. Continue baking, being careful not to burn and adjusting time for your oven.
Makes 20 - 24 cookies. Approximately 1.3 grams of carbohydrate per cookie.
* Use Canadian Brown Sugar Twin (cyclamate based) if possible for a smoother taste.
