My very first attempt at a low carb zero sugar/flour cookie recipe!
I hope I did okay.

Almond Cookies

1 cup butter
1 cup Splenda
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups finely ground almonds
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
blanched whole almonds

Preheat oven to 375 F

Cream butter and Splenda until light and fluffy;

Add egg and almond extract, mix well.

To the creamed mixture, add the dry ingredients, mix really well.

Splodge by the teaspoon onto a baking tray, it doesn't hold together enough to roll, really.


Flatten slightly by pressing center of cookie with thumb.

Press in an almond in each.

Bake for 10 - 15 minutes until browned.

I would lower the oven temp and cook for longer. They are quite 'cakey' when they're done but ohhhhh the flavour!

You would sub 1 cup of the ground almonds for 1 cup desiccated coconut I think.

You could grind your own nut flour too. Hazelnuts would be fab with this. Dry roast raw hazelnuts, grind and use!
