Question for Damsel

Can you please post the food counts for the entire recipe of your Chocolate
Brownie Cookies? I don't like walnuts and figured you had calculated them
into the total/cookie. So I redid the entire recipe and came up with much
different numbers.
Thanks!

Sorry, forgot to say that I'd like to see the counts by ingredient.
Thanks again.

I'm using MasterCook, so that's where the calculations came from. Here is
is, ingredient by ingredient:

almond flour: 47 carbs, 28 fiber
Splenda: 18 carbs
cocoa: 15 carbs, 8 fiber
butter: 0 carbs
eggs: 1 carb
vanilla: 1 carb
xanthan gum: 7 carbs, 7 fiber
baking powder 2 carbs
salt: 0 carbs
walnuts: 8 carbs, 3 fiber

MasterCook may have rounded a lot of things up or down, and the cumulative
total may be off, but it should be close.

(this is the only time I'll ever do this - it's very time-consuming)

Hope this info helps,
Carol

Thanks, Carol. I appreciate your efforts. I know how time-consuming it is
since I'm doing it on all my favourite recipes too. :-)
I get roughly the same numbers for the carbs and my net carbs come out to
1.2/cookie, but the calories come out to 84 instead of 48.

Weird. When the tornado watch is over, I'll check out the calories for
you.

I *knew* I should have included calories!

almond flour: 1373
Splenda: 72
cocoa: 111
butter: 2032 (this was the problem - MasterCook didn't calculate sticks)

I'll go further if necessary, but I think this is it!

Posted below are the two chocolate cookie recipes, with corrections.
Crash's cookies have less cocoa, more Splenda, and no nuts. Mine have more
cocoa, less Splenda, almond extract, and walnuts. Both versions have one
net carb.
