Instructions

Measure the almond meal, vanilla whey protein, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and stir together. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter till creamy and fluffy. Add the Splenda and maltitol, and beat till very well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat well.
Now add the dry ingredients, in three additions, beating each addition till well incorporated before adding the next.
Beat in the chocolate chips and pecans, and mix just until well-distributed.
Turn off mixer, and scrape the dough off the beaters back into the bowl.
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Scoop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheets you’ve sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, or covered with pan liners or baking parchment.
Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Eat It Again! How Repetition Rewires Your Taste – CarbSmart Podcast Episode 27

Every taste is an acquired taste. If you’ve just recently gone low-carb, say as a New Year’s resolution, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer difference from your old diet. I encourage you to do so rather than using low-carb breads and such to make your low-carb diet resemble your old diet. Those can be useful. Bridge foods helping you to find a new normal, but not only are they, yes, processed foods often overpriced and sometimes deceptively labeled.

I am very sensitive to maltitol, but not erythritol. How can this recipe be changed to use, say PolyD, erythritol and Splenda? What amounts of each could be used to reach the desired sweetness and synergy? Also, why does using just erythritol by itself have a “cooling” effect (meaning a minty flavor) on the cooled finished product? Thanks for your help and great recipes.
