Can I offer you a Low Carb / Keto Cookie Biscuit !

Sometimes it is so enjoyable to sit down with a cup of tea or coffee and help yourself to a nice cookie biscuit, and even better if it's a low carb / keto one! Here are two recipe suggestions you may like.

These crunchy keto cookies are incredibly quick and simple to bake. If you happen to be Swedish I bet your grandmother used to bake these for you when you were a child. It will surely bring back some sweet memories but without the sugar.

The above recipes uses 'low carb flour' and if you are just starting a low carb diet/lifestyle you may feel confused with which low carb flours to use. You may never have used any of them before and how to use them properly can be daunting. Low carb flours do not behave like wheat flour, and how to use them in your old regular high carb recipes is a common question. Of course you may also be interested, or want to know more about them. If that is the case then Libby at 'Ditch The Carbs' site has a very good guide, and you can read it here

They both look good, it's funny because my hubby likes his cookies crunchy and I like them more on the soft side so it is hard to find a recipe we both like :)

I've always used the broccoli stalks...just as much goodness in them as the florets...in my opinion, anyway. :)

Thanks for the recipes. The choc cookies I might just have to make in a few weeks...sharing morning tea with a good friend who is on the Keto diet. :)
