As mentioned earlier, make sure that your chosen gelatin is not sweetened with aspartame. This is because aspartame does not bake well due to its chemical composition.
When choosing a sugar free gelatin product, please read the label for best results.
You can find sugar free gelatin online that has been sweetened with Splenda.
I also found a gelatin that has been sweetened with Stevia which may work for you as well. If you intend to make your cookies at another time or roll your cookies and use cookie cutters to make shapes, you can preheat your oven before you actually intend to bake your cookies. Also you can double the batch to divide it up just before adding the gelatin to get more than on color cookie. *Please check the nutritional labels to assure that you are sticking to your diet restrictions for any substitutions used. - see post for alternatives
