Cassava Cookies SECOND TRY! |
First Attempt: Chocolate chip dough domes! |
I substituted Monk Fruit Sweetener for Coconut Sugar, which is why they are very light in color. I fixed that in the next try (see top photo) and found that coconut sugar is much like brown sugar in both color and sweetness, and not too bad price wise.
Second attempt: Tastes good but low-carb? Not so much! |
Is the THIRD time the charm...NOPE! As mentioned, I substituted Almond Flour for Cassava Flour and guess what? My wife thinks I needed more. flour. There is not a 1:1 ratio! The plus side was that they tasted GREAT! In fact my daughter said they didn't taste like LOW CARB and I totally agree. My wife is still not convinced, but she makes terrific cookies and is a great baker so I am not really trying for that level, just something I can eat and I found it! Since these didn't look like cookies, I cut them into small squares, like min-brownies! Let's hope the fourth time is the charm!
