Low Carb Rum Cookies

1 carb per cookie.

Serves: 40

Ingredients

1/2 cup non-hydrogenated shortening or lard
1/2 cup butter
2 1/2 cups vanilla protein powder(zero-carb)
1 cup Splenda
1 Tablespoon almond extract
1 teaspoon Rum (or 1/2 tsp rum flavored extract)
2 egg yolks

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 325F.
  2. With an electric mixer, mix everything but vanilla protein powder until creamy. Add the vanilla protein powder and mix slowly (or you will form a cloud powder) until a crumbly paste forms. Make a little ball with it and place on a cookie sheet - repeat to make 40 balls/cookies.
  3. Gently press the middle of each to flatten a bit (not too hard, they'll crumble.) Bake for approximately 20 minutes at 325F. Keep watch because they burn easily.
