Recommendation & Review:
It's been awhile since we did any reviews for cookie mixes because we haven't seen any we've been impressed
with in some time. However, we've recently found several that we like very much.
One line that falls into
that category are the new mixes from The Low Carb Chef. They have three varieties for the low carber that
make very tasty, very "real" treats that make and bake with very little fuss.
First, there's the
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix with a very "Toll-House" type consistency. You use your own fresh eggs and oil,
and a little vanilla extract. The result is 18 nice sized cookies that make a treat you'll love with
a cold glass of your favorite low carb milk.
Then there's the Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix. Blend with the same fresh ingredients listed above; and we also added
walnuts! The result is 9 large fudgy brownies with a decadent chewy crumb. You can add pecans or hazelnuts also.
Or consider swirling Splenda sweetened cream cheese through the brownie mix in the pan for a unique look
and taste.
And last (but not least since these were our favorite!) are the Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies.
 Add 1/2 cup of peanut butter (we used Carb Options brand)
along with oil, eggs, and vanilla and you get a peanut butter cookie any kid would love. We did the "criss-cross"
fork pattern and added a sprinkle of Splenda to their tops.
All three mixes make totally yummy low carb treats and come out at 1 to 5 carbs per cookie or brownie depending on
how you discount for sugar alcohols. They've kept their polyols to a minimum by sweetening with their "Chef's Blend," a mix
of maltitol and sucralose.
You won't want to miss these! They're available from The Low Carb Dieter's Page. Order them and enjoy!
