       Substituting Stevia for sugar when baking

       I have a sugar cookie recipe from my mother that's really yummy
       but it uses two cups sugar. Being diabetic I thought to cut the
       sugar amount to one cup and use one cup stevia flakes, making up
       the two cups.
       I've done some research and found that using stevia generally
       makes the cookies crisper/crunchier. Suggestions were to add
       'some' applesauce or uncooked oats to make a softer/chewier
       cookie.
       I'm wondering if any of you have used stevia as a sugar
       substitute when baking?
       If so, how did the final product turn out compared to the
       original recipe? Did you add anything extra for moisture? A bit
       of milk, maybe?
       Any helpful hints would be appreciated. ;D
       For what it's worth, here's the recipe:
       2 cups butter
       2 cups sugar (blend butter and sugar until extremely creamy)
       2 eggs (add one at a time)
       2 cups flour (add slowly, creaming in between each addition
       drop by spoonful on cookie sheet - they flatten and really
       spread out a lot and just make really nice rounds. Place two
       chocolate chips on the center of each spoonful.
       bake 350 for 7 or 8 minutes till edges start turning brown.
       This recipe is all about creaming everything well together.
       To finish, melt some chocolate chips, put the melted mixture in
       a piping bag and pipe a smile on each cookie (the chocolate
       chips placed before cooking make the eyes).

       You need much less stevia for the same amount of sugar. I don't
       know if you would be able to get the same consistency when
       mixing the stevia and butter but would love to find out if you
       go ahead with it.
