If you're a Cookie Lover, and really missing cookies while on protocol, I recommend giving this recipe a try. I used almond flour, but think coconut flour would also be worth a try. The z-sweet gives good sweetness, but also causes a "cooling effect" when you eat it, which is kind of strange. Still, these cookies will definitely hit the spot for a Cookie Lover. (Use caution with peanut butter if you're on your first Phase 3 to make sure it doesn't cause a gain for you. Almond butter might be a better choice.)
Peanut Butter Cookies
1/4 cup Butter
1/2 cup Peanut Butter (no sugar) or almond butter
1/2 cup Erythritol, like Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Zero or Z-Sweet
1 tsp Vanilla
Combine the above, then mix in 1 egg.
In a separate bowl, combine:
1 cup Almond Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
Mix wet and dry ingredients.
Roll about a tablespoon of dough into a ball and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart. Press down with a fork in a criss-cross pattern. Bake at 350* for about 12-15 minutes until the tops start to turn brown. Remove pan from oven and allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the pan, then remove to finish cooling on a cooling rack.

Any idea what the calories are?
It just depends on the ingredients you use. You can put them into a program like myplate on www.livestrong.com to get the exact number.
These are so awesome and they travel well. I keep them in the freezer. Once i didnt have enough peanutbutter so used 1/2 & 1/2 pb and almond butter snd they were so good that is how i make them now. I love this site.
looks yummy will try it.
These look great! Would the recipe work with liquid stevia as a sweetener?
It might, it would take a lot though. Let me know if you try it!
Thank you so much for the yummy inspiration.
Why would peanut butter cause weight gain but almond butter wouldn't? That sounds like "bro-science" a calorie is a calorie..
