    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.

    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!

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