LOW-CARB NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE HAYSTACK COOKIES
It is a keeper recipe. If only people could know how good these are!! Super easy too! These are very firm cookies. Keep them in the refrigerator. I find one cookie a day is a fabulous, tasty way to get enough fiber for the day.
For many, this sort of cookie was a childhood favorite. However, they were usually loaded with oats. So, even although they are a pretty common cookie, these low-carb cookies are not so common. In fact, I made these up as I went along.
I cut down on the amount of chocolate chips required (so expensive, unfortunately), and made up for the amount with unsweetened Baker's chocolate - worked fabulously! You will need to add sweetener to taste.
You can double the batch and keep one batch in the freezer. Always good to have on hand when chocolate cravings hit. These are so chocolatey that any chocolate cravings will be very quickly assuaged. So satisfying!
I know these are cookies, but these can also fill in as a nice dessert. So delicious with a cup of coffee or tea.
