Low Carb Chocolate Almond Cookies

Finding low carb sweets and desserts is very hard in Germany, which could be deadly for me who's got a real weakness for chocolate, gummi bears and ice cream ;). A few days ago, I created some low-carb chocolate cookies, using gluten flour and ground almond. The cookies didn't turn out bad at all, they're soft and rather flaky but still delicious!

Ingredients (Makes 14)

• 100 g butter
• 1 egg
• 100 g gluten flour

• 4 - 5 tbs cocoa (without sugar)
• 1 tsp vanilla
  

Mix all ingredients well. Shape into little balls. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes.
