Colleen's Low Carb Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cookies

Colleen's Low Carb Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cookies










I know some of these ingredients sound strange, so at the bottom I will explain where you can find them!


What you need:


2 Sticks of Butter (not margarine)
1 1/2 cups "Cup for Cup" Splenda (cup for cup is easiest, otherwise see conversion instructions)
1 cup packed Splenda Brown Sugar
1 cup Ground Flaxseed Meal
1 cup Walnuts, chopped
1 1/4 cups Soy Flour
1/2 cup Gluten Flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 package (1 1/3 cups) Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate Chips


Heat your oven to 375* F.


Mix It Up!


Melt butter in the microwave for 2 minutes or until liquid. Combine butter and both sugars with a mixer. Splenda may cause the mixture to appear a little on the grainy side, but will not effect the cookies. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix very well and add baking soda.


The Dry Ingredients


Combine the ground flaxseed, soy flour, gluten flour and salt in a separate bowl. Once incorporated very well, slowly add the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Add the chocolate chips and walnuts and mix well.


Roll into 1" balls and place on baking sheet. Place in oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until cookies are slightly brown and puffy. Cookies will retain a very round shape and will not expand very much. Allow the cookies to cool for about 2 minutes before transferring off cookie sheet.


How to find the "weird stuff"


The Soy Flour, Ground Flaxseed and Gluten Flour can be found just about anywhere. I've seen them at The Christmas Tree Shops, Big Lots and Tops.
























I've only had luck at Tops as far as finding Sugar Free Chocolate Chips.






Happy Baking!!!!
