Low-Carb Snickerdoodles


Ground almonds create an "almond flour" which is a wonderful substitute for wheat flour for many baking recipes.

Makes about 26

1/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups ground almonds
1 cup granulated Splenda
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 tablespoons granulated Splenda
1 teaspoon cinnamon

In a medium bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add half the ground almonds, 1 cup Splenda, egg, vanilla, baking soda and cream of tartar. Beat until well combined. Beat in remaining ground almonds. Cover and chill in bowl for 1 hour. Pre-heat oven to 350 F. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons Splenda and the cinnamon; mix well. Roll chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Gently roll each ball in the cinnamon-Splenda mixture to coat and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until lightly browned at the edges. Carefully remove from pan to cooling rack to cool completely.

Note: 1.5 net carbs per cookie

Would make this again.
I used soy flour instead of almonds and 2 eggs instead of 1 for a more cookie dough consistency (probably due to the difference in flour.) These cookies were AMAZING! I had no problems with crumbling or any of that, the cookies are rum ball size. Will definitely be making more of these. five stars

Would make this again.
These were pretty good, although I had to modify the recipe a bit. I did't have enough almond flour so I used 1 cup vanilla protein powder and 1/2 cup almond flour. They were light and very tender. I will try again with the right amount of almond flour to see if they would be better. My husband loved them. three stars
