Keto Brown Sugar Cookies

Keto Brown Sugar CookiesKeto Brown Sugar CookiesKeto Brown Sugar Cookies. Yep, and they are so easy too. Tons of butter to sooth any savage beast and They. Are. Huge. To be more exacting they are over 4″ huge so one is plenty enough after a good low carb dinner. A while ago I did a recipe for Giant Ginger Cookies and this is just kind of a sister-cookie. When baked, and after sitting, these keto brown sugar cookies have kind of a soft-crunchy texture but, that’s if you get people to leave alone long enough to actually sit.

Brown Sugar Cookies
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2¼ C Carbalose Flour***
  2. 3 Sticks Butter
  3. 1 C Allulose***
  4. 30 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
  5. 2 Eggs
  6. 1 T Vanilla Extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350° .
  2. Mix eggs, vanilla extract and Sucralose.
  3. In large bowl cream butter, then add and beat in egg mixture.
  4. Slowly beat in 1 C Allulose.
  5. Slowly add in flour. Mixture should be a very thick dough.
  6. With a ¼ C scoop place 8 balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet and with your fingers, press each ball to flatten a bit.
  7. Generously sprinkle on more sugar and press with a flat surface to about 4" and it's the sugar that keeps them from sticking to whatever you use for the final flattening. I use, of all things, my meat pounder but whatever trips your trigger.
  8. Bake 18-20 minutes or until just beginning to brown at the edges.
  9. Repeat for last 8 cookies.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on sheets.
  11. 16 Servings 85% Fat
  12. 206 Calories, 5.3g Protein, 19.4g Fat, 6.9g Carbs, 4.1g Fiber, 2.8g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. I have a very large baking sheet that fits all the cookies at once but since you may not, it's why you either need 2 sheet pans or to repeat the process for all your cookies.
  2. Yes, they freeze very well, I wrap mine individually, and thawing is a snap.
  3. The dough will be fine if you are doing the cookies in two batches and they do not have leavening in them except for the eggs.

All Things Carbalose

All Things CarbaloseAll Things CarbaloseAll Things CarbaloseAll Things CarbaloseAll Things Carbalose Flour.  When I started posting recipes I thought I would just post the recipe for Bread up and then realized I use the flour and bread for so many things that I would just make the whole category All Things Carbalose and that use Carbalose in one way or another.  I hadn’t realized there were so many until I started posting recipes. The flour may be purchased at Netrition.com There are 14 cups per 3 lb. bag so order accordingly. All recipes listed below.

I have found this flour to be a godsend for low carbers and diabetics like myself.  The problems with the flour as I see them are:  1.) that there have not been many recipes for it and you cannot get them from Tova Industries, 2.) for many people including myself, it tastes very bitter, (this bitterness is corrected for in the bread-hence for all its uses) and lastly 3.) it is relatively expensive. There are tons of recipes for CarbQuik but not for the flour itself and because of its cost, a legitimate low carb bakery would have a tough time selling bread at around 10.00 a loaf.

I DO NOT use Carbquik for any of these recipes, so please do not confuse the two products.

So, the recipes listed below are still in the various and appropriate sections of all the low carb recipes but for convenience sake they are all listed here too.  All nutritionals are listed below the bread recipe as well as with all respective recipes.

Keto Crepes Suzette

Keto Crepes SuzetteKeto Crepes SuzetteKeto Crepes SuzetteKeto Crepes Suzette.  Somewhere in one of the many recipes on this site I talked about having worked for the Broker Restaurants, a group of restaurants in Denver.  Mine was the Continental and it was the only one that did table-side cooking and yes, I wanted to increase my tips so when Eugene, our Maître d’ was busy, I would step in and do table-side for the other wait staff. One of the fancy dancy desserts we did was Crepes Suzette. Remembering that this was in the mid 70’s, a fully prepared table-side dinner was only between $9-$10. The crepes suzette was about $3. and that was a fortune back then. Whoa, those really were the good old days. Think of this; I lived up into the mountains, about a 50 minute drive, and sometimes had to work a split shift which meant a 2-3 hour afternoon break. I couldn’t go home & come back because the drive was too long but guess what I did get to do.

I went next door to the original Cherry Creek hole-in-the-wall (yeah only 950’ ft on 2 floors) Tattered Cover Bookstore and settled into the dreamworld that is books. Now, I would liken the Tattered Cover to Powell’s Books here in Portland, and Strand Bookstore in New York City. They are all three huge, they are iconic, and they are all independently owned and are NOT Amazon.

So, I have been a bit long winded and the keto crepes suzette recipe is so small and easy it’s ridiculous.  You will need a recipe for Zero Carb Flaxseed Meal Crepes to finish the dish.

Notes

  2. If you by chance get too much xanthan gum just thin it with a little water.
  3. That little bitty orange thingy (the halo) was given to me at the grocery store by Ann who had it in here re-cycling box. Not sure why because to me it looked perfect.

Low Carb Desserts

Keto~LowCarb DessertsLow Carb DessertsLow Carb DessertsLow Carb DessertsLow Carb Desserts. I know, I know, I pretty much look like a low carb desserts junky here and that is absolutely not the case.  I do like small amounts of pretty much any dessert maybe 1-2 times a week but my LCHF eating lifestyle doesn’t really allow me to eat too many goodies after dinner as I am most often too full. I mostly make them now to dazzle dinner guests.  My absolute favorite listed below?  All of them.  My absolutely least favorite? None of them.  The first sign of an addict?  Denial.

ALLULOSE***If you’re into experimenting with Allulose*** as I am, you may substitute Allulose for any sweetener in any of my recipes calling for Just Like Sugar*** and probably anyone else’s lowcarb recipes that you may be making. If the recipes are baked, I would suggest turning down the oven temperature 5-10 degrees and use the same amount of Allulose as written in the recipe. If you are a newbie to Keto then you may want to add a bit more but the longer you eat Keto the less you will automatically be able to tolerate as much sweetener.

Buy the least expensive Allulose you can find as it is basically all made by the same company (Tate & Lyle) worldwide. Not sure, but I think they have a patent on it. All I can say, as a diabetic, it is a fabulous product and in my opinion, a game changer in the world of low carb desserts and sweeteners. I am here to tell you Allulose will be a lifesaver for diabetics and lowcarbers.

DessertsFood Lagniappe:  When baking any kind of cake or bar I advise using professional square, rectangular, or round aluminum pans.  Compared to a glass baking dish aluminum is far and away the better heat distribution system.  No hot spots & no lop-sided cakes.  Magic Line Pans are the best quality available, they come in about every size & shape you will ever need and…they are made here in the USA.  Because I promote this set of pans several places on this site they keep selling out of them so if you don’t see the 6 pan combo call 309-747-2125 and they will make one for you.

Keto~LowCarb Crêpes

Low Carb Crepes

Low Carb Crepes. As we now well know, crêpes have become a thing not only for a fancy dessert or breakfast, they have also become mainstream for some pretty fancy dinners too. In the last 5-6 years there have been hundreds of créperies opened nationwide while people stand in line to eat in them. The wonderful thing about my low carb crêpes is they don’t cost an arm and a leg to eat.

Each of the keto low carb crepes recipes begin with a full recipe (12) of ZeroCarb Flaxseed Meal Crêpes and then the directions are for each of the fillings.  Some are savory for dinners and some are sweetened for desserts.  It is my opinion that after you have made the crêpes once or twice, you will come up with many more recipes of your own choosing. I have also just come up with a recipe for Keto Pork Rind Wraps and they work perfectly for any of the recipes below.

Low Carb Dinners

Low Carb DinnersLow Carb DinnersLow Carb DinnersLow Carb DinnersLow Carb Dinners. Whether you are preparing a dinner for yourself, your family, or guests, people are going to know you have fixed the food they have just partaken in and eaten was made with love. It would be impossible to eat any of these low carb dinners without the beginnings of a change in your health. If you will just try eating keto low carb for two weeks you will feel the changes taking effect and the longer you eat this way the better you will feel. The higher amounts of fat will get you to, and keep you with, a higher satiety level which will automatically keep you from eating more food that you need.

Keto~LowCarb Sauces & Dips

Low Carb Sauces & Dips

Low Carb Sauces & DipsLow Carb Sauces & DipsLow Carb Sauces & DipsLow Carb Sauces & DipsLow Carb Sauces & Dips.  A good low carb sauce and/or dip can, and usually does, make the difference between a good dinner and something spectacular. Think bearnaise or a compounded butter that you have gotten in a good restaurant. You know that “something” that makes you want to get back to the restaurant as soon as you can. That’s what a good sauce can do for food. To this day there are times I can remember exactly where I was when I had______and fill in the blank. Nine times out of 10 it was a sauce or perhaps a broth that knocked my socks off.

Low Carb Salads & DressingsLow Carb Salads & Dressings. I consider salads more of a catch all than anything else and for me it’s katy-bar-the-door when it comes to what I put into them and that can mean whatever you have in the fridge on any given day. I have been known to use a meat sauce as a dressing as well as dipping sauces. Low carb salads & dressings are kind of a catch all category and use dribs and drabs of things you have in the fridge.

Low Carb Soups

Low Carb SoupsLow Carb SoupsLow Carb SoupsLow Carb SoupsLow Carb Soups.  Soups of all kinds and that certainly includes many, many low carb soups that have been a staple in mankind’s foods for 1,000’s of years. Soups are ubiquitous in every corner of world. Used by the European peasants for a hearty lunch, used by shepherds to sustain themselves for weeks or months out in the cold and rain and a good hearty porridge for morning.  Worldwide there are probably more soups and stews eaten daily than any other forms of food.  As you read some of the stories in each recipe you will see that because I tend to use a lot heavy cream I often eat low carb soups for dinner and maybe along with a small salad I can call myself good to go.

Low Carb Appetizers

Have you every walked into a restaurant, looked at the list of appetizers and said WOW, these all look so good I could get several and make a meal out them? You are not alone and I have done it dozens of times.  A good example, at least in my list, might be Crispy Pork Belly, Lemon Bacon Scallops, and the Chinese BBQ Pork Loin. When in a restaurant you actually may only get a few succulent bites but at home you can eat as much of any of the low carb appetizers that you want so, have a good time, eat hearty, and eat healthy.
