In a second bowl, beat together the butter, Diabetisweet, Brown Sugar Twin, Splenda, molasses, and liquid sweetener until light and fluffy. Add the egg, mixing well, and then mix in the flour mixture. The dough will be stiff and will come together best if you knead it manually.

-
Grease 2 baking sheets *lightly*. Snip off bits of dough to make 1 inch balls. Place balls onto baking sheet 2 inches apart. If you prefer crisp cookies, press dough balls flat (about 1/4 inch thick); if you prefer them soft, leave them as balls.

-
Bake in center of oven until starting to brown at edges. Don't overbake. Remove from oven and leave to cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered Steel's Nature Sweet while warm, then cool on racks. (I ALWAYS take this extra step as I adore the powdered "sugar" on them and they look more festive this way.) See our Product Review area at the site for info on where to buy Steel's Nature Sweet.
