Cookies are typically high in carbohydrate content due to their main ingredients; flour and sugar. Most regular cookies net about fifteen grams or more carbohydrate per cookie. For those with diabetes, 48 grams of net carb for two cookies is a high price to pay.

By replacing wheat and sugar with almond flour and the sugar substitute Splenda, the carb content for these low carb cookies is only 2.2 grams per cookie. For those following The Metabolism Miracle or The Diabetes Miracle, these cookies are neutral.
