Low Carb Valentine Cookies
(A Valentine cookie stamp is nice for this recipe, but not absolutely
necessary.
You can also "mold" the cookies in greased heart-shaped candy molds,
then pop them out to bake them.)
2 sticks butter, room temperature
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup Splenda
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vanilla whey protein powder
1/2 cup oat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts (optional)
Additional 1/3 cup Splenda
few drops red food coloring, optional
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cream softened butter, shortening and 1/2 cup
Splenda.
Add egg and mix. (If you're using the optional food color for added
drama, add a few drops now and mix thoroughly.) Add vanilla whey protein
powder, oat flour and baking powder and mix till blended.
Refrigerate 1/2 hour. Put 1/3 cup Splenda in a small bowl. Roll dough
into small balls and roll each lightly in Splenda. Place balls on a
lightly greased cookie sheet. Press design in with cookie stamp, if
desired. Otherwise, just flatten them slightly with a fork, glass, or
the palm of your hand.
Bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. Watch so they don't burn.
Makes 5 dozen cookies. 1 carb per cookie.
