One of my favorite things about my new found dietary regimen. Is that I get to eat sweets every day without worry about it making me gain weight. I found this recipe and I make cookies every week so I can have 2 every night! I’ve modified it and have tweaks to make all sorts of cookies I’ll share with you.
One of my favorite cookies from my childhood was Keebler Sandies (Pecan) or known as Pecan Sandies. Here’s how I make them:
Preheat Oven 325 Degrees
Recipe (in order of what I mix)
- 3/4 Cup Monk Fruit Blend Sweetener (just like sugar with no after taste)
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil (melted)
- 1/4 Cup Chopped Pecans
- Optional (to make cookies more soft/chewy) 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
Mix together thoroughly, then mix in:
- 2 Cups of Almond Flour
I make 15 equal balls on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Because the dough does not spread on it’s own, I flatten with a slightly damp fork. Similar to how traditional peanut butter cookies are done. If you use the almond milk, they will expand slightly.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes. They make still look slightly under cooked but if you pull them out and let the pan rest on a cooling rack, they finish baking perfectly without over browning the bottoms of the cookies.
Absolute YUM!
