Re: South Beach Breakfast?
Sorry I didn't see this post before! The cookies turned out good, but I liked the muffins better, in the end. Still, I'll make them again.
Here's the recipe I used:
Low-Carb Almond Cookies
2 c. almond flour
1/2 c. splenda for baking
1/2 c. minus 2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. almond extract
1 egg
Preheat oven to 300. Whip butter. Add remaining ingredients.
Form into walnut-sized balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 5 minutes. Push down with a fork, then bake for 18 minutes more. Cookies will NOT brown.
Let cook on cookie sheet 5 mins, then transfer to wire rack.
Optional: Drizzle melted chocolate over each cookie.
I didn't do the chocolate, and they were nice. I had some trouble pressing them flat with a fork, as it stuck to the cookies quite badly-- you have to be very gentle, and even then some of them still broke a bit. I'll also reduce the almond extract next time. I found the artificial almond flavor to overpower the natural almonds.
