My fourth experiment in low carb treat making was my most successful so far.  To date, I’ve made two different recipes for peanut butter cookies and one brownie recipe.  They were all okay, but not great.

Much better results with Nancy’s Forgotten Cookies.  These are essentially meringues.  They are ridiculously easy to make. 

They are made with egg whites, artificial sweetner, sugar-free chocolate chips, vanilla and lots of chopped pecans.  I added a bit of instant espresso for richness. 

Out of the oven they are sweet, chewy and chocolaty.  I really recommend them.  I plan on doing some variations on them soon.

I plan on taking a bunch of them on my trip.  We’ll see how they freeze.
