These delicious and high fiber almond cookies look and taste like my favorite peanut butter cookies - but have significantly less carbs and much more fiber. They are great for lo-carb and diabetic diets. Ingredients:
1/2 cup softened butter |
1 large egg |
1/2 cup splenda brown sugar blend |
1/2 cup splenda sugar substitute |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3/4 cup smooth almond butter |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 teaspoons wheat gluten |
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds |
1 cup almond flour |
3/4 cup atkins baking mix |
Directions:
1. Blend top five ingredients with a mixer until smooth and fluffy. Make sure to scrape down sides, then add Almond butter and mix well.
2. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Then slowly mix into wet ingredients. Mixture should not stick to bowl or spatula. If too sticky, add 1 T additional Atkins baking mix and blend. Repeat if necessary.
3. Use tablespoon and form into 1 balls. Spray non-stick baking sheet with pam (lightly), or just place on non-stick pan.
4. Press down balls with a fork in criss cross pattern.
5. Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes, until browned.
6. Remove and cool on cookie sheet.
