I started doing Atkins at the end of January. (I’ve lost 35 lbs so far) It was hard at first because so many nights I would just eat cereal for my supper, even when I made something for Maddie. When I needed a quick snack it would be crackers or just some toast. It took me a bit to stop those cravings, and I still do have those cravings at times. I did a search for some Chocolate Chip cookies (the Atkins snacks get pretty expensive) and I ran across this recipe… Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I still haven’t bought almond flour yet but I also saw this wonderful idea on making your own almond flour so I gave it a whirl. The flour worked out and the cookies came out great! They don’t look the best but they taste wonderful!! My wonderful phone pic of the cookies.
