I might have to try it because I do miss cranberry sauce and dressing at thanksgiving . I was the one that didnt eat any turkey just sweet potatoe cassorole & dressing & cranberry sauce .

 Umpa got the sweet potatoe cassorole made last year and it was really pretty close ,very good we made a dressing with my cornbread recipe last year did you look back on the recipes I will try to find it . It was not to to bad but I was missing the cranberry sauce so didnt eat much .
 I think I have found a pretty good sugar cookie recipe of some site . I will post it in the contest .!

Sugar cookies

1 1/4 cup Now AF    5 carbs
3/4-1 cup xylitol      0 carbs (taste batter after 3/4 to see if you need more )
1/4 cup butter         0 carbs
1 egg                     .5 carbs
1teaspoon vanilla     0 carbs

Preheat oven to 350 line baking sheets with parchment paper enough for 20-24 cookies . In a bowl mix AF & xylitol together , another bowl mix very soft butter ,egg & vanilla then blend with flour & sweetner .
 Roll into balls and press down with fork .
 Bake 5-8 minuites or until brown around edges .
Let cool on pan for about 5 minuites then move to wire rack of plate , they are good but a little soft in the center at first .But a couple days in the fridge and they are just like crisp sugar cookies  
And at 5.5 carbs for 20-24 cookies you do the math almost  0 carbs   enjoy !!

Also just a side note I split the recipe in half to try and the batter was not thick enough to roll into a ball so I just spoon a Tablespoon for each cookie and it worked out fine .

Jo, thank you for posting the cookie recipe...will give them a try soon.  By the way, made your absolutely to die for cornbread this morning.  OMG OMG thank you.  I cannot wait to serve it to hubby.  I know this will be a treat (I say treat because I cannot make it too often, I would hurt myself) at our house from now on.

Yes mam it is good and I dont make it often either did you do the whole recipe ? did you use all AF ?

 I half the recipe so that it will be thin and crunchy cornbread mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that is why I dont make it often either . when you half it the whole pan is just like 2 carbs way to dangerous for someone that likes to say well it only has 2 carbs  ! LOL

I used your exact recipe.  The only thing I did different is I didn't use an iron skillet on my glass top stove.  I had bought small individual iron skillets.  I put them in the oven when I turned it on to pre heat.  They started getting hot while I mixed the cornbread.  I split a tablespoon of oil between them and put them back in the oven for about 5 minutes.  The oil got hot and when I split the batter between the 2 skillets it sizzled and started to brown.  Then I baked until done.  Yippee....so good.
