Ginger Cookies - from Myra’s 1919 Diabetic Cookbook
1/4 cup almond flour
2 eggs, separated
4 saccharin tablets (see note)
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Foam egg yolks with saccharin dissolved in a few drops of water. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add almond flour, ginger and cream to yolks, stir smooth. Fold in egg whites. Drop from teaspoon on a buttered tin; flatten out, and bake in a moderate oven.
NOTE: I'm guessing that a saccharin tablet is equivalent to 1 teaspoon of sugar, so you could probably substitute an equivalent amount of Splenda. Also, I'm pretty sure a "moderate" oven is 350 degrees F.
