My husband named these cookies not only for their taste, but because you can eat them without guilt if you are counting carbs, or watching your waste line, & they taste amazing. These are by far the best dessert cookie I have created since going low carb just over a month & a half ago. There is no guilt because they are 68 calories per cookie, only 1 gram of sugar, 2 grams of fiber, & only 4 carbs but the NET CARB is only 2 because of the fiber. ASIDE FROM THE NUTRITION THEY'RE JUST' DELICIOUS. The Mexican Vanilla was a gift from my friend here @ Just a Pinch Phyllis Lively. I love it.

How To Make no guilt low carb peanut butter cookies

  • Step 1
    PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES F. Combine ground flax seed with almond flour, add baking powder, stir to mix together then set aside till needed.
  • Step 2
    These two are the star of the show for these amazing cookies.

  • Step 4
    Add in the Mexican Vanilla, & beat to blend, it is awesome, and was a gift from Phyllis Lively here at Just A Pinch. I love it. You can use regular vanilla if you don't have the Mexican Variety, but you don't know what you are missing.
  • Step 5
    Add in the chopped peanuts, and beat until blended into batter.
  • Step 6
    Now add in half of the flour mixture blend and beat till blended then add in the remaining flour mixture with the milk & & beat till batter is smooth.
  • Step 7
    This is what the ground flax seed looks like.

    Drop by teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. I used nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes then remove from oven.
  • Step 9
    Remove & allow to cool before adding to a cooling rack. BE AWARE, THESE COOKIES CAN BE ADDICTING. Smile Nutritional Info:Calories 68, Fat 5 g, Cholesterol11mg, Sodium 57Mg, Potassium 26 Mg, Total Carbs 4g, Fiber 2G, Sugars 1g, Protein 2g, NET CARBS 2.
