Sugar Cookie Bars
« on: February 20, 2012, 10:47:34 AM »
I keep seeing these all over Pinterest and they're killing me. I would love to know if you can work your magic and make them FTS friendly? Remember though we can't use almond flower at my house due to my kiddos treenut allergies. I would love to make these for him now that he is totally on FTS. Do you think it's possible??

Wow!... :o :o :o With 6 cups of sugar and 5 cups of flour, I wonder what the carb count is on these?
That's a frightening thought!
If I tried to eat one, my gut would be doing back flips for days! :P :P :P

But if anybody could make this recipe healthy and FTS-friendly, Umpa can! ;D
What you do today is what matters!

 They were talking on the site about using a cookie sheet with sides, so that's pretty huge. I would probably make them in a 9x9 pan and that would be MORE than we need. Thank you for working this one out, Danny will be thrilled with the cookie surprise!

Thank you Umpa for making this recipe for us, they look really fun. I am taking my first real estate exam tonight (AHHH!) and then I am going to come home and make them. My question, since we don't have FTS sweetener yet how much xylitol should I use on the frosting??
