Laura’s Cream Cheese Cookies
For the bottom crust:
I coarsely ground up 1/2 cup almonds (about 2 1/2 ounces) and mixed it with 1/2 cup gluten flour. You might add some Splenda. Then I cut up some butter in to the mixture and patted it into the bottom of an 8 inch square pan.
Bake this at 350 degrees until golden brown.
For the topping I mixed:
1/4 cup Splenda
8 ounces cream cheese
1 egg
2 tbsp. cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. lemon juice
Spread this over the crust and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
It was great!
I estimate about 45 carbs (w 7.5 carbs fibre) and without Splenda in
the crust. If you cut it into 16 square that would be less than 3
carbs per cookie. You might also look at other ways to save carbs by using
almond flour or soy flour or sweetener tablets instead of the powder.
