Chocolate Chip Cookies for me...Low Carb reinvented

I've always had a little  more success on low-carb diet plans like Atkins or Keto but I also love Whole 30 which, though not quite as fast, does make me feel healthy.   Right now I'm on a low carb quest for some really good chocolate chip cookies and these were pretty good!  I used a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe we've always loved and just tweaked it a bit....they turned out great for a first try and I'll keep working with them until they are the perfect substitution.   Try them and tell me what you think




1 1/3 cup salted butter softened slightly
2 cups of sweetener ( I used half splenda and half swerve)
1/4 tsp of maple flavoring (used to make up for the lack of brown sugar flavor in my original recipe)

Cream the above ingredients together then add
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon of real vanilla
1 Tablespoon of water

Beat till fluffy then stir in

3 1/2 cups almond flour
2 Tablespoons of Coconut Flour (improves texture
2 cups sugar free chocolate chips (I used Hershey's)
1 cup chopped pecans

Drop on a cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes until lightly brown on the bottom then remove to a cooling rack.
