Are you seeing a trend here? I’ve been hung up on cookies lately. Having something sweet on hand really reduces temptation to stray and I love these!
This is Dana Carpender’s Oatmeal Cookie recipe with a few substitutions for what I had on hand and some tweaks suit my own preferences. I don’t need a cup of nuts in my cookies, and don’t much like Pecans anyway. And chocolate chips?!? Hello! Of COURSE we need chocolate chips!
Dana’s original recipe appears in 1001 Low Carb Recipes among other books. Well worth the purchase price, man! Support you Low Carb cookbook authors, please. 🙂
Note – You may want to individually wrap the cookies before freezing them. Yes, I know that’s a pain. But when I wrapped them in two cookie bundles, they stuck together. Tasted great, but stuck together. I’m also thinking with some LC Vanilla ice cream in between the two, these would make excellent ice cream sandwiches!
Hi, New to your site and lovin’ it. However, due to auto-immune issues and related gluten sensitivities, I ALSO am unable to tolerate whey, and therefore any other “real” dairy product (i.e., cheese, cream, milk make me extremely sick). As you probably know, gluten is the protein in wheat/rye/barley, and whey is the protein in milk products, and people who are sensitive to one are quite often sensitive to both, making life heck to try to get some variety in our food selections. So, do you have a legal substitute for the whey? Such as soy powder, for example. Even if its not a totally legal sub, getting *something* that’s at least close would still be very helpful and would make it FAR easier to keep on track with at least SOME of the recipes.
So sorry to hear that, Cheryl! Auto-immune challegnes stink! And I’m guessing egg protein powder may not work for you. What about Pea protein powder? Or Plant Protein Powder without soy or dairy? And if you are okay with soy, that is an option as well. I have never worked with some of these but in these recipes, we’re looking for texture and some binding properties more than anything. Good luck finding stuff that works for you!!!
