Because i ran out of soy flour and was too lazy to go to the store! ;D All kidding aside,I always almond ,hazelnut or flaxseed flours when I can because they are lowest in carbs.You can always subsitute splenda but splenda has 1 carb per package, so when you are using one cup it adds up.(watch your blood sugar with splenda beebs you may need insulin)The goal is to keep the count as low as possible, *BUT my recipes are my suggestions you can change them to suit your taste.

Nope, splenda doesnt seem to either. Less carbs is better tho.

I get this funny aftertaste with sweet and low. I use it when we travel if its all thats available in restraunts.I think taste wise Splenda would be better for baking.I used soy flour in this recipe so that the cookies would rise,sometimes almond flour is too dense.Thats why I also added the cream of tartar and baking powder, for the rise.Sherripie said these cookies should be soft and chewy, not crisp.I have never made snickerdoodles before, but i gotta tell ya beebs Sherripie is right they are very good, and very filling!You can try the almond flour by itself, it may work.If you do let me know the result.Almond flour is lower in carbs than soy flour.

Snickerdoodles should be soft, but I dont really care to  be honest. Cookies are cookies and as long as they taste good I dont care if they're hard.
