			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Sugar Cookie with Stevia</h3>
<p><strong>Ingredients<br />
</strong>24 packets stevia<br />
1 cup butter<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
1/2 teaspoon almond extract<br />
1 egg<br />
2 1/3 cups all purpose flour<br />

<p>Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, shape dough into balls. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Press cookie down slightly to flatten using the bottom of a glass which has been dipped in sugar. Colored or white sugar may be used.</p>
<p>Bake for 9-11 minutes, just until cookies have set. Remove cookies to a wire rack to cool.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Big Soft Ginger Cookies</h3>

1 tablespoon water<br />
1/4 cup molasses<br />
3 packets Stevia</p>

2.In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the water and molasses. Gradually stir the sifted ingredients into the molasses mixture. Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and flatten slightly.<br />
3.Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.</p>
