    I've been on low(ish) carb for a couple of months and absolutely love these as an afternoon snack. If the carbs are still too high, you could always make the cookies a little smaller.

    You might want to go to pinterest and search there for inspiration. I have a board there full of low carb recipes because my husband is a diabetic. Believe me. Five minutes on pinterest will give you more recipes than you can try in a week!

    I made some delicious peanut cookies yesterday. The ingredients were:

    1 egg
    1/2 cup peanut butter (I used unsweetened natural)
    1/2 scoop protein powder (I used trutein, which had 1.5 net grams per serving)
    1 tsp vanilla
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp baking powder
    1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
    1/4 cup peanuts
    sweetener to taste

    Preheat oven to 350
    Combine ingredients
    Cook for 8-10 minutes

    Net Carb amount
    16 - peanut butter
    3 - peanuts
    1 - cocoa powder
    1.5 - trutein

    Making a total of 21.5 carbs per recipe. At 10 nice sized cookies per recipe, this is basically 2 carbs per cookie.

    However, you can cut back by omitting the cocoa powder and peanuts.

    There's a food blog called I breathe...I'm hungry. She has tons of low carb (often gluten free!) recipes. So many awesome desserts.

    Wow, bookmarked, recipe imported, 108 cal/cookie after deleting the peanut butter. I don't want peanut butter on mine. that will also be a good thing to have with plain ogurt for breakfast, as I'm watching my sugar for medical reasons. thanks!

    Check out YouTube, found some great recipes. My latest is Homemade protein Chocolate. Did a "Skinny" PB egg for Boot Camp on Saturday, got really good responses on that as well.

    Pepperoni or salami chips (not low calorie though, so be careful)
