"David Fulton, the inventor of Yes! To Cookies, had sent me a couple of boxes of his wonderful cookie mix while I was vacationing in Alaska. After buying the two ingredients -- eggs or egg whites and butter or margarine -- that I needed to add to the bag of mix, all I needed to do was to whip them together, spoon out the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and cook in the oven.
I was amazed that I could cook cookies. And even more amazed at how good these cookies tasted. They have no sugar, no starch, no net carbs, no gluten. The main trick is using erythritol, which is the best sugar alcohol, and psyllium fiber."
—David Mendosa
