Ingredients Suggestions:
The above recipe is for optimal nutrition, improving cholesterol & a great treat for diabetics (as this recipe helps stablise blood sugars while having a sweet hit). However if you aren't diabetic and would prefer your cookies a little sweeter you have two options a) increase stevia amount from 70g upto 90g or b) decrease coco content of your chocolate; don't go below 60% coco though.
