I don't know if you have one, but I baked mine on a silicone slipmat. Perfect. I have a peanut butter cookie recipe I'm going to try next.

Hey Kevin--Thought I'd give you an update.

Used Hazelnut flour in this second batch. UMMMM, Ummmmm good! Perfect in terms of sweetness--I used the poly-d and no additional sweetening agent. I thought it was perfect. I'm finding that my sweet quotient has gone down since sticking to plan.

Looking forward to the next cookie recipe that comes out of your kitchen.

BTW--how do you think that cookie would hold up as a crust for a refrigerated mousse dessert?? Do you think it would get way to soggy before the mousse set???

I made these cookies and they were great. I doubled the recipe, added 3 Tablespoons of coconut. The only difference is I used vanilla designer whey protein powder. They took longer to cook and did not spread. I had to press them down with a fork. Did you have to do this? Could I have been the protein powder? I will be making these a lot. They tasted almost like an oatmeal cookie (to me). Thanks for the recipe.

If you look back to my variation where I used coconut mine didnt spread and you tripled the amount of coconut so the fact that you had to press them doesnt suprise me. And as far as the protein powder, wheat and whey are interchangable......I just prefer the taste of wheat over whey.

Thanks for your response. I made them again, they are a great 3pm snack with coffee in the office, and this time they spread. I am not a baker and get confused with all the the different "flours" and how to use them. Your recepes are great and thanks again.

1/4 cup ground almonds or almond flour
2 Tablespoons polydextrose Plus
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon wheat protein isolate (i'm sure whey would work also)

preheat oven to 350

drop teaspoon size cookies on lightly greased cookie sheet 4 inches apart

bake aprox. 5 mins. till the edge is starting to crisp and brown.
they spread to 1/8 inch thin and about 3 inches round and are bubbling and airy looking in the middle.

let cool slightly and loosen with spatula.

yeild 4 cookies 2 net carbs each

You have to taste them to understand how good they are.


I like the simplicity of the recipe.

Some of the ingredients people write about I have no idea where to purchase. I'm unfamiliar with the low carb brands, but want to learn.

Polyd is pretty cool stuff. Those remind me of lace cookies.

I'll have to try using something other than wheat or whey.

Hmmmm... glad you did. I should buy some PolyD. My last batch eventually hardened into a rock.
