Ideal No Calorie Sweetener

Have you ever wanted cut back on the amount of sugar you use, but didn’t want to use artificial sweetener products?  Well, I am excited to share with you a new No Calorie Sweetener that is more than 99% natural; Ideal.

Ideal No Calorie Sweetener is made with Xylitol (made from plant material).  Xylitol has been FDA approved for over 40 years and has health benefits other sweeteners can’t claim.  It is safe for children, pregnant and nursing women and diabetics. Ideal is perfect for anyone looking to cut sugar and calories from their diet.  It also has bacteria-fighting properties and has been shown to reduce ear infections.  Unlike sugar it prevents dental cavities and reduces the buildup of plaque on teeth.

In independent university taste tests, Ideal No Calorie Sweetener was preferred over sugar for sweetness, flavor, and overall liking!  And Unlike some other sweeteners Ideal measures cup for cup like sugar and is great for baking.  I made cookies with Ideal and they were great!  Here is the recipe that I used, I found it on the back of the Ideal 10.6 oz bag.

Cinnamon Cookies

Ingredients
1 cup Ideal™ No Calorie Sweetener
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

For topping

3 Tbs Ideal™ No Calorie Sweetener
2 tsp cinnamon

Directions

In a mixing bowl, cream together Ideal™ No Calorie Sweetener and butter; beat in egg and vanilla.  Sift together flour, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, baking powder and salt; add to butter mixture and blend well until ball is formed.  Cover and refrigerate two hours or until firm enough to roll into balls.  Shape dough into small balls about 3/4 inches in diameter.  Roll balls in mixture of 3 TBS Ideal™ No Calorie Sweetener and 2 tsp cinnamon.  Set cookies on lightly greased cookie sheets; press down until 1/4 inch thick.  Bake at 350° F for 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.  Cool slightly on cookie sheets, then remove to racks to cool completely.

I also used it to sweeten lemonade and thought it tasted wonderful.  I really liked the product and would use it again.  For more information be sure to visit their website at www.idealsweet.com .
