Low-Carb Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe (video) [View all]

These little cookies are delicious, low-carb, and flour-free! This is our take on a couple of different recipes we found that we wanted to slam together. They came out amazingly well. We replace all of the white sugar with xylitol, which is a non-sugar sweetener with a low glycemic index. We still used a small amount of brown sugar for that nice browning and molasses flavour. We also added a bit of dietary fibre in the form of acacia gum and inulin. Hubby supplements his fibre intake with both of these, and sometimes uses psyllium husks. It has the added benefit of lowering the general glycemic index of the food we're eating.

A caution about xylitol: It is very toxic to dogs, so please be careful around your pets if you're using xylitol. If you want to use white sugar in this recipe, it will work just fine (and the cookies may spread out a little bit more). The almond flour and almond butter really help these cookies to remain moist after baking. The crunch of the toasty slivered almonds on the bottom and the crispy flaky salt on top really elevate these cookies to something special.
