Low-Carb Snickerdoodles
Ground almonds create an "almond flour" which is a wonderful substitute for wheat flour for many baking recipes.
Makes about 261/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups ground almonds
1 cup granulated Splenda
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 tablespoons granulated Splenda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
In a medium bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add half the ground almonds, 1 cup Splenda, egg, vanilla, baking soda and cream of tartar. Beat until well combined. Beat in remaining ground almonds. Cover and chill in bowl for 1 hour. Pre-heat oven to 350 F. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons Splenda and the cinnamon; mix well. Roll chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Gently roll each ball in the cinnamon-Splenda mixture to coat and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until lightly browned at the edges. Carefully remove from pan to cooling rack to cool completely.

Would not make this again.
These were DISGUSTING! Wayyy too much splenda, actually gave me a stomach ache and I only tried a fourth of the cookie. Plus, in order to make the amount it's supposed to, the cookies will be tiny. GROSS.

These were awesome! I added some flax meal for some added fiber, and even my kids were gobbling them up. A big hit!

Hi; well in this recipie you must use 1/2 cup of oat flour with the 1 cup of almond flour, then add 1 teaspoon of xanthan to the mixture. Do not use vanilla but use lemon instead and you will not notice the almond flavour. You can also go to the health food store and they now have cinnamon extract, this added with the lemon and a bit more sweetner adds a wonderful flavour to this cookie.
