Notes
*regular, lower fat, fat free all work in this recipe
**You can use any granulated or liquid sweetener of your choice, like coconut, date and maple sugars which are healthier alternatives to white processed sugar, but for the lower carb, lower calorie option, you should use a sugar-free substitute such as monk fruit sweetener or, stevia powder (but you'll have to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions). Sugar-free honey is also another sweetener I like to use.
***you can use regular, low fat, gluten free Oreo-cookies, as well as this keto brand cookies and cream
