I've been feeling like cookies for a week now. I'm avoiding the cookie aisle at the grocery store, but those haven't really been what I wanted. I really wanted a shortbread-like cookie. And I found one! Again from the most amazing Maria at the Keto Adapted blog. Her "Healthified" Christmas Cookie was a recipe I had to try!
Since my cupboard was bare of almond extract, I used orange extract. I think a teaspoon of that was a tad too much, but over all I liked the flavor. These were super easy to make. Mix, roll, chill, cut, bake!
My nephews got up in the middle of the night and ate half a log of cookie dough. They devoured the cookies and my 3 year old niece ate a couple and then one more. Mom and a sister-in-law thought they were okay, but I had a friend who absolutely hated them (he has no taste). I liked them with almond milk. I like them with tea. I ate them for breakfast. Totally fixed my cookie craving!
So fixed, or maybe fed, my cookie craving I baked 2 more batches (ran out of almond flour! WAA!). One with vanilla extract and one with almond extract. They vanished before I got a photo. Hint: they look exactly like the other ones... Almond is probably my favorite, but now I'm thinking I'd like to try it with coffee and maple! So many extracts! No more almond flour :(
"How can you eat some many cookies and still lose weight!" you might ask. Check out the nutrition on these cookies! (from My Fitness Pal recipe importer) and it helps if you eat them just before you follow 3 year olds around a bounce house.
