And for the low-carb folks.... Sorry, haven't tried these.

Almond Cookies

*

2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup Splenda
1 stick (1/2 cup) sofened butter
1/2 tsp salt (if using salted butter, omit salt here)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract

Preheat oven to 300 F. Combine all ingredients. Form dough into walnut 
sized balls and place onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 5 minutes. 
Press down lightly with fork, then continue to bake another 15 minutes. 
Let cool.

*Chocolate Chip Cookies*

    * *

    * 2 sticks (1/2 lb) unsalted butter, softened
    * 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Twin
    * 2 Tbsp Not-Sugar (by Expert Foods)
    * 1 cup Splenda
    * 2 tsp vanilla extract
    * 2 large eggs
    * 1 tsp baking soda
    * 1 tsp salt
    * 1 cup Atkins or other bake mix
    * 1 cup oat flour
    * 1/4 cup almond flour
    * 1 cup lowcarb chocolate, chopped into chunks (I use 3 Ross Dark
      Delite bars, 1 carb per 32 g bar )
    * 1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a large bowl with mixer on medium speed, beat butter, Brown Sugar 
Twin, Not-Sugar, Splenda and vanilla until fluffy. Add eggs, baking soda 
and salt beat until blended. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in the 
bake mix and flours just until blended. Stir in chopped up chocolate and 
pecans. Drop by teaspoon-full 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets 
and shape into a circle and pat down a bit (they will puf up in baking). 
Bake 8 - 11 min. or until edges are golden brown. Cool 2 minutes. Remove 
to wire rack.
