Almond Thumbprint Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup flax meal
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp half salt
  • 1/4 cup splenda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 Tbsp egg whites (2 large)
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Allowed jam to fill cookies  (or NSA Chocolate Chips or PB2)

Directions:

  • Combine dry ingredients.
  • In separate bowl whisk egg whites with the rest of the wet ingredients, except the jam.
  • Pour wet into dry and mix until well combined.
  • With wet hands roll into 12 balls (approx. 1 Tbsp each).
  • Press down center of each to create indent.
  • Bake 12 mins at 350F.
  • Let cool completely and fill wells with jam (or melted allowed chic chips or PB).
  • Place in air tight container, can be stored for 4 days.

Review:  They were yummy and moist, and got softer as stored.  Do not overcook or I can see that they would become dry.  Some non-pooners enjoyed them as well, and wanted to modify them further to make a breakfast type bar.

They end up quite large… One cookie is 6.8g fat (.8 saturated), 0.8g net carb and 3.8g fibre. Fat is the limiting factor… I found one to be enough.
