Recipe: Low Carb Almond Sugar Cookies
Summary: December 23 - A Cookie A Day Until Christmas! I've been looking for Low Carb/Low Sugar recipes since one of my boys was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. As you can imagine, this will be a tough Christmas for him, because around our house there's A LOT of high sugar/high carb treats at Christmas time! I'm hoping this will be one he enjoys. A note about baking with almond flour, these cookies will not flatten out at all. You'll need to flatten them with either the bottom of a glass or a fork. That makes them look like a traditional peanut butter cookie, which is confusing to easily confused people. For you, Scott!
