Ingredients:
I didn’t have hazelnuts as per the original recipe, so used a mixture of ground almonds and finely chopped walnuts instead. I am using Xylitol as the sweetener, plus I added some cinnamon and nutmeg to the original recipe.

• 75g ground almonds
• 50g finely chopped walnuts
• 2 egg whites
• 50g Xylitol
• 1 tsp ground cardamom
• pinch of nutmeg
• 0.5 tsp cinnamon
• 4 squares dark chocolate (I am using Cavalier brand, sweetened with Stevia)

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas Mark 6
• Mix almons, walnuts, xylitol and spices
• Whisk egg whites lightly and mix in with the dry ingredients
• Form small mounds on a greased baking tray (I had 7 cookies made from the amounts above)
• Bake for about 10-15 minutes

Nutritional information:
In total, using the amounts above:

• per 100 grams of the mixture – 380 cal, 9g net carbs, 24g fat, 13g protein
• per 1 cookie (36g) – assuming 7 cookies  are made from amounts listed above – 136 cals, 3g net carbs, 9g fat, 5g protein

Overall impression:
These are great – super quick and easy, and really tasty! The square of chocolate gives it a nice extra oomph! factor.  The only thing I didn’t get quite right is the amount of Xylitol – it is very sweet, so I will try to use less next time
Highly recommend this and thanks again to Swedish Diet for the original recipe!
