Default Cinnamon Sprinkled Sugar Cookies

I found this recipe in the November issue of Low Carb Energy. I did change it a bit, as it was a recipe for plain sugar cookies.

These are WONDERFUL! I was pleasantly surprised, as I did not expect them to taste SO good.

1 cup butter (2 sticks) softened
2 1/4 cups Carb Solutions vanilla shake mix (no substitutions)
1/2 cup of Splenda, divided <---- 1/4 cup for the cookies, 1/4 cup for the *sugar* on top. This is WAY more than needed to dust the tops, I used half that amount.)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1.5 tsp cinnamon <-------- my addition mixed in with the Splenda for the tops

Preheat oven to 375. Spray a nonstick cookie sheet and set aside. Place 1/8 cup Splenda and cinnamon in shallow bowl and set aside. Cream shake mix, 1/4 cup Splenda, and vanilla extract. Add egg and blend until well mixed. Shape into 1 inch balls and place on prepared cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Flatten cookies with the bottom of a glass, sprayed with nonstick spray and dipped in the Splenda/cinnamon mixture. Dip glass in Splenda mixture between each cookie, shaking off excess. Bake 8-10 minutes. Store covered in refrigerator.

Yield: 40 cookies
.7 carbs each
0 fiber
97 calories

I plan to try these as a plain sugar cookie with a thumbprint filled with SF jelly for Christmas.

Was thinking that a cream cheese/Splenda (or flavored Davinci syrup) frosting drizzled over these would be super too.

Yummy they look like snicker doodles. I need to try these. OK Becki I always wanted to know what the heck does natty mean? I've seen it used on the forum always in ref to peanut butter. I figure it either means a smidge or it means natural ground up peanuts. The Dictionary was no help.

OK, so I made these today and they are very good...I made half the batch with cinnamon/splenda and the other half were the thumbprint with sugar free strawberry jelly. However I used my regular 'ol vanilla Optimum Nutrition protein powder and they were (as I said) very good. I'm wondering how much better they could be with the Carb Options mix...

Thanks for the explanation Becki. I would have made these by now but I have no carb options mix. I so don't want to buy any either because I have a whole can of the Atkins stuff as well as designer whey protein powder. I know you said no substitutions but I might just have to be a rebel
