Baking with Stevia

Has anyone tried baking cookies/cakes with stevia? Does the consistency turn out like it would with sugar? What is the equivalence? In other words, how much stevia equals 1 cup of sugar? I have not baked with Stevia, but I am going to try Zsweet.  It is part stevia, part erythritol, the only truly non-digestible sugar alcohol.  I am using it because I am diabetic.

It depends on the formulation, how your brand of stevia compares to sugar volume or weight.  Some companies add fillers to stevia to make the volume comparable and easier to measure, others do not.  Check the ingredients closely -- some are not good for blood sugar problems, not sure about how they might affect non-diabetics avoiding sugars, though.
