These cookies are a type 1 diabetic’s dream cookie as they are very low in carb while being high in fiber and fat, all making for a quick and easy snack that doesn’t mess with my blood glucose level much at all. In fact, I will be making these in the future with even fewer chocolate chips or none at all for just a nut cookie.
Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookie
These cookies are great for someone on a low carb diet, paleo diet or just want to have a high protein/high fat snack that will fill one up and keep blood sugar steady. Remember with all the cookies that I post with other flours and variations of a "classic" chocolate chip cookie, it is not going to taste like a white flour and high sugar cookie, so if you bake these expecting that you just may be disappointed. Keep an open mind and enjoy the fact that you are reducing your sugar intake while still eating cookies! Additions could include some coconut, different flavored chocolate from a dark chocolate bar and flax.
