Chocolate & PB2

Yesterday I went to the grocery store with one item at the top of my list (of course I forgot my list) chickpeas to make the chocolate chips cookie recipe that I shared a couple of days ago. Well, I forgot the chickpeas. So this morning I decided to try to create a new recipe with what I had on hand and get the calories and carbs down. I took the ingredients from the original post and plugged them into Calorie count. Each cookie had 173 calories and 22 carbs and 10.5 sugars.

Here's what I came up with:

Yield 14 cookies 1 1/2" diameter 

Ingredients:
1/2 c Almond Flour
1/2 c PB2 divided (I used the chocolate flavor)
1/8 c water
1 egg (beaten)
1 tsp Truvia Brown Sugar Baking Blend
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F
In a small bowl combine 1/4 c of PB2 with water and mix until smooth (it will seem a little runny, not as thick as regular peanut butter). Add Truvia brown sugar, and mix well, add beaten egg and fold until egg is well combined with PB2 mix.

In a separate bowl, stir together, almond flour, remaining 1/4 c of PB2 powder, baking soda and salt. Add PB2 mixture and mix thoroughly. Add chocolate chips and stir.

Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper or baking liner. Place rounded Tbsp scoops of cookie dough on baking pan. Bake 10-12 minutes.

This recipe plugged into Calorie Count gives each cookie 57 calories, 4 carbs and 2 sugars. Quite a difference from the above recipe. And they are delicious.
