Being a diabetic means keeping an eye on what you are cooking. Pay special attention to the ingredients you use in order to avoid too much sugar creeping in. That goes double when the recipe says "no sugar". One recipe for "sugar free" cookies involved applesauce, chocolate chips, and molasses; "no sugar added" maybe, but plenty of sugar anyway.
Some recipes use applesauce as a sweetener. Use sparingly as fruit hides a lot of sugar.
Cookies with nuts aren't just bad for those with allergies. Keep in mind that they convert to sugar just as well as fruit does, and that warning goes double for peanut butter cookies.
Icing should always be avoided when possible. That includes cream cheese frosting just as much as it does sugar-based frostings, as cheese can create its own sugar spikes.
Even the most sugar-free baked goods are still made of flour, regardless of the kind of flour used. This can means you still need to limit the number of cookies you eat.
