Nutritional information:
According to the book, this amount of mixture makes 40 cookies, with 1.6g of carbs and 48 calories per cookie. Using my substitutions as above (single cream instead of double cream, liquid Splenda instead of granular sugar substitute), I recalculated all values. Also, my cookies were more chunky, so I ended up with 25 cookies instead of 40. According to my calculations:
- per 100g of the cookie mixture: 422 cal, 6g net carbs, 40g fat, 12g protein.
- per 1 cookie (16g) – assuming 25 cookies made from the amounts listed above – 1g net carbs, 6g fat, 2g protein.
