Low Carb Almond Macadamia Cookies

Submitted by Toujours Pur

"I made these cookies because I love how they are so low in carb and I don't have to feel bad for indulging. My cookie routine: I have one in the morning before my meals with a nice cup of strong coffee and in the evening, I have another one (or two...) with some lemon tea and really, it doesn't even feel like I'm dieting."
