OMG! I am having a hard morning. I really want some giant choc chip cookies (used to be my favorite!). I think it's all a mind thing because I can't imagine actually EATING them. I mean, I crave them so bad, but the actual purchasing and consuming is a bit scary....for now!! I haven't totally given in - yet....

Re: Really want some choc chip cookies!!
I think I know what it is...I had been taking Benadryl because of my hayfever, which I'm guessing had tons of sugar in it. Could that be it?Goal #1 - 212

Re: Really want some choc chip cookies!!
No, and I haven't had any coffee today. I have had some the last couple days. Yesterday I couldn't finish the 8oz I had, maybe I actually drank 4oz. I already had the cookies, I gave in. Just going to move on .....Goal #1 - 212

Re: Really want some choc chip cookies!!
Well if you must have those darned chocolate chip cookies next time atleast try these:
Almost Sugarless Choc Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup almond meal/almond flour
1 cup soy flour (original recipe used 1 cup whey protein powder)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened at room temperature
1/2 cup Splenda sugar substitute (the original recipe wanted 3/4 cup Maltitol and 1/2 cup Splenda)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
100 grams low effective carb and sugar free dark chocolate bar, chopped in small pieces (the brand is Carb Safe and can be found at health food stores)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F.
Mix dry ingredients (almond flour, soy flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt) in a bowl. Set aside.
In an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar substitute until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and continue mixing, scraping the side of the bowl.
Add the chopped chocolate and mix with a spatula until incorporated.
Drop tablespoons of batter on parchment-lined baking sheet, keeping them at least an inch apart (they will expand).
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until light brown. Cool for a minute in the pan before transferring to wire rack.
The original recipe yielded 44 cookies with about 3 g net carb per cookie. Mine yielded approximately 24 cookies about 2 inches in diameter.

Re: Really want some choc chip cookies!!
That recipe has ingredients that aren't legal until later stages of OWL. It is not suitable for Induction. Sorry!
