Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Serves:Makes 36 cookies

CarbsPerServing:~30 grams total

Prep Time:1 hr

Effort:Easy

Ingredients:

.8 cups Atkins Bake Mix

2 Tbl. unsweetened chocolate

1 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter

1/2 cup sugar (splenda)

3 large eggs

1 lb bittersweet chocolate

(I used 1 bag of LowCarb

Success sugar free semisweet

chocolate chips

plus 3 PureDelite dark

chocolate bars, because

that was what I had in my

kitchen)

How to Prepare:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Stir together bake mix, cocoa and

baking powders and salt.

In a double boiler, melt 3/4 of the

chocolate and all the butter; stir

until smooth.

Remove chocolate mixture from

heat and stir in sugar. Mix eggs

in one by one. Combine with dry

ingredients and mix until just

combined. At this point, I mixed

in the additional chocolate chips,

though you may want to save

them to sprinkle on the dough

before baking.

Chill dough, covered in fridge, for

10-60 minutes.

Drop rounded tablespoon

measures of dough about 1 inch

apart on greased cookie sheet.

Stud cookies with additional

chocolate, if you didn't mix it into

the batter earlier.

Cook for 10 minutes. DO NOT

OVERCOOK!!! Cookies will have

a cake-like texture.

These are great for chocolate

lovers. I got the recipie off

Epicurious.com (originally from

Gourmet magazine) and altered

it slightly for us low-carb lovers.

1 Serving Ricotta cheese according to package

1 ounce walnuts -- crushed

2 teaspoons cinnamon1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup atkins bake mix

2 tablespoons butter

How to Prepare:

The bake mix and butter can be adjusted by using more or less of

either according to your desired consistency of the batter.

Mix everything together and bake on a greased cookie sheet for 20-25

minutes or until browned (I usually flip them over halfway through

so they don't get too done on the bottom). I set the oven (I cook

them in a toaster oven) at 350.

The counts I'm giving you are approximate, not exact, but you can

just add the carbs as you add the ingredients to the mix.

The cookies are a bit soft so they also make a good muffin mix if

you have the tins. Enjoy.

minutes or until just

browned. Let cool

while you prepare the filling.

Beat these 3 ingredients

together well. Pour over

slightly cooled crust

and put back in oven for 20

minutes or until set

(depends on your oven -

may take as long as 30 -

watch carefully). This is not

as thick as

traditional lemon bars -but

you *could* dou

ble the filling ingredients if

you're bold;)).

Allow to cool - then blend:

And drizzle over bars.

Whip that cream nice a

fluffy, THEN add your

bitter aftertaste

from the cocoa powder too.

Chocolate Praline Bar

Serves:8

CarbsPerServing:6g carbs total

Effort:Easy

Ingredients:

1 ounce unsweetened

baking chocolate -- or

semisweet

2 ounces Unsalted Butter

4 tablespoons Peanut

Butter1 tablespoon heavy cream

-- to taste, optional

Splenda to taste (optional if

using semisweetened)

4 ounces nuts -- ground or

finely chopped in grinder

How to Prepare:

Melt chocolate in Microwave

and stir, add butter and PB,

melt ans stir to combine.

Heat only util just melted.

Add cream and Splenda if

using. Grind nuts and stir

in.

Spread into large thin slab

on baking paper on a tray

and freeze for a couple of

hours. Cut into small

squares and store in bag or

box.. I get at least 40

squares less than 0.5g

each ! They are very rich so I

just find 1 or 2 a night are

enough to satisfy my sweet

craving. I eat them straight

from the freezer, they keep

their Īcrispā that way.

Notes for UK dieters

(Sainsbury's Luxury

Continental Belgian Dark

has 24g for whole 100g

bar).

Waitroseās only has 32g so

itās not bad and I find I do

not need the Splenda with

it. Lindt 85% Excellence is

also good

NOTES : Counts for

Splenda not included in

totals.
