No Spike Chocolate Chip Cookies

I completely forget the original recipe from which these were inspired. That being said, I believe recipe etiquette is if you change 3 ingredients, you can consider the recipe yours.

Ella's Favorite "No-Spike" Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 3 cups almond flour (72 CHO)
• 1/2c butter
• 1/4c organic coconut sugar or xyletol (35 CHO)*
• 1/2 tsp liquid stevia drops (clear or vanilla - whichever you prefer)*
• 2 eggs (2 CHO)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 80g mini chocolate chips (~50 CHO)

Preheat oven to 375. Cream butter & sugar. Mix in egg. Add flour, vanilla, salt & soda. Mix. Add chocolate chips. Bake 10 to 12 minutes.

I make mine using the small pampered chef scoop, so I get ~ 48 small cookies using this recipe. I usually bake some up now and freeze the dough (already scooped) for later use as they are best fresh & hot out of the oven.

I calculate ~ 160 CHO total so each cookie = 3.3 CHO. Round down to 3 since I don't take any CHO out for the fiber in the almond flour.

*If you're not a liquid stevia fan, increase the coconut sugar or xyletol to 1/2 cup and omit the liquid stevia. Total carb count is increased to 195 = 4 CHO per cookie
