Walnut Butter Cookies

Walnut Butter Cookies
Serves:5
CarbsPerServing:20g total
Effort:Easy
Ingredients:
8 packages artificial sweetener -- to taste
1 serving Creamcheese according to package
1 Serving Ricotta cheese according to package
1 ounce walnuts -- crushed
2 teaspoons cinnamon1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup atkins bake mix
2 eggs
2 tablespoons butter
How to Prepare:
The bake mix and butter can be adjusted by using more or less of
either according to your desired consistency of the batter.
Mix everything together and bake on a greased cookie sheet for 20-25
minutes or until browned (I usually flip them over halfway through
so they don't get too done on the bottom). I set the oven (I cook
them in a toaster oven) at 350.
The counts I'm giving you are approximate, not exact, but you can
just add the carbs as you add the ingredients to the mix.
The cookies are a bit soft so they also make a good muffin mix if
you have the tins. Enjoy.
NOTES : Counts for cream cheese and ricotta cheese not included.

cookie. you could add a half
a teaspoon of stevia to the

Addiction, you know.
2 T butterscotch chips and
cashews
2 T dark chocolate and
walnuts
2 T white chocolate and
macadamias
2 T milk chocolate and
pecans
sometimes it is hard to
have the chocolate around. I
try to buy tiny
quantities of good
(expensive) stuff at a local
health/premium food co-op.
