Low Carb Chocolate Walnut Cookies
These sweet treats make a terrific addition to any cookie platter.
Ingredients for Chocolate Walnut Cookies
- 2 tablespoons whole-wheat pastry flour
- 2 tablespoons soya powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granular sugar substitute
- 1 1/2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 5 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup walnuts, lightly toasted and finely chopped
Preparation Method for Chocolate Walnut Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or
aluminium foil; set aside.
- Whisk the flour, soy powder and baking soda together in a bowl; set
aside.
- In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar substitute
together on medium until light and slightly thickened. Place chocolate,
cream and butter in a microwavable bowl; microwave on medium until butter
has melted and chocolate has softened (it need not be completely melted), 1
1/2 to 2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes; stir until smooth.
- Gradually beat the slightly warm chocolate mixture and vanilla extract
into the egg mixture. Reduce speed to low, and beat in flour mixture, just
until combined. Cover, and chill until thickened, 30 minutes.
- Drop slightly rounded teaspoonfuls of dough, 1 inch apart, onto prepared
sheet. Sprinkle tops of cookies with walnuts, lightly pressing into dough.
Bake until cookies are just set but soft on top, 5 1/2 to 6 minutes. Cool
cookies on baking sheet 1 minute before transferring to wire racks to cool
completely. Store in an airtight container.
