LOW CARB ALMOND COOKIES
During the holidays my family has a longstanding tradition of baking cookie trays for family and friends. This year, my circle includes a friend who has been advised by her doctor to dramatically reduce her carbohydrate intake. Not wanting to leave her out of the cookie circle, I tracked this recipe down on the web and have posted it here for others interested in low-carb baking. The resulting cookie is a little crumbly like a shortbread with a soft nutty flavor. I like the variation, my own, of adding the egg as the cookie holds together more and has a thin marzipan like center. A bit too rich for my low-fat taste buds but a certain hit for a low-carb diet. According to the recipe these have about 2.7g carbs per cookie.

Steps:
- Mix coconut, vanilla extract, almond extract, cream and Da Vinci simple syrup together and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix almond meal with baking powder, then add the eggs and stir. Add to the coconut mixture and mix well. Drop the resulting dough on to a cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. The cookies don't spread out much, but they do puff up a bit so make sure that aren't piled high. Place a whole almond in the middle of each cookie.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes in a 350º oven or until the edges on the bottom begin to turn golden brown.

Tips:
- Use a food processor to grind the almonds. This will help to create a fine, even texture for the cookies.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to blend together smoothly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to firm up.
