Atkins Diet Recipe: Low Carb Chewy Pecan Cookies

Here is an unbelievably good recipe for those missing cookies or a snack food. This is not Induction friendly due to the molasses, coconut, and the Ultimate Splendid Baking Mix, but that is just one more reason to perhaps move on to Ongoing Weight Loss phase. This recipe is a take-off of a chocolate chip recipe from Jennifer Eloff (http://low-carb-news.blogspot.com/2010/02/chewy-coconut-chocolate-chip-cookies.­html), but as I said in the past, I am not much of chocolate eater. I exchanged the sugar free chocolate chips for pecans, and I honestly think these are better than the originals.

Here is the recipe for the Low Carb Spendid Baking Mix (another Jennifer Eloff creation):
1 2/3 cups ground almonds
2/3 cup vanilla whey protein
2/3 cup vital wheat gluten Low Carb Chewy Pecan Cookies
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup of Splendid Low Carb Baking Mix
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup Splenda, Granulated
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp molasses
1 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 cup Pecans, chopped

Preheat over to 350 degrees. In medium bowl, combine Splendid Bake Mix, baking soda and salt. In food processor, combine butter, Splenda Granular, egg, vanilla extract and molasses; process until well combined. Add dry ingredients and process until combined. Add coconut and pecans; process a final time. Place roughly tablespoon on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake in 350°F 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on rack.

Could you do more recipes without Splenda or alternatives ( such as Truvia ,Stevia, etc). Splenda and I don't work well together.

[bowulf]

@omenlightenment Most of my recipes should be convertible to use whatever sweetener you choose. There are a few that don't work in some regards like Truvia and chocolate that I have discovered. Outside of that, I use Splenda because that's what I have on hand, but you could certainly use Stevia in the Raw instead for most of them.

Ok who is drinking all of the soda in your house! lol

thanks so very very much for making such an effort in making these videos they truly are a godsend for someone who is your old weight and has been following you thru the first two weeks of induction with a 10 lb loss already :) thanks so kindly!

@magymae The soda is my wife's and kids. I don't drink Diet Dew ever any more.

Congrats on your weight loss -- that is a great first week!

Nice recipe! Who's breathing that heavily behind the camera? ;)

[bowulf]

@tpmm1 Yeah, that would be my kids -- you just can't always raise good cameraperson. The good news is I have changed cameras now which places the microphone on the front of the camera, which should help with this problem too.

Can I just say THANKS so much for making such a huge huge effort in providing these videos - I started following them about 2 weeks ago in my induction, and am very close to your beginning weight - you truly are an inspiration - and certainly an inspiration to get me cooking again! Thanks so very kindly and i look forward to watching more!

@22331121 I don't think it would be nearly as tasty without the coconut in the cookies. The coconut helps hold the cookies together without becoming too brittle.
