I discovered the beauty of my food processor and a bunch of nuts yesterday. I got creative and decided to process 1 cup of almonds with 1 cup of dates, 1/2 cup of peanut butter and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. What turned out was a little piece of peanut butter heaven :) Enjoy!

Did you calculate the amount of natural sugar in the dates?
Yes in the dates there is a total of 5 and 2/3rds grams per cookie so a serving size of 3 cookies is 17 carbs. (the additional carbs are from the peanut butter but you can get sugar free if you want). The dates are 33 carbs with 12 fiber per 1 oz serving, I utilized 1 cup which gave 120 net carbs, plus I added my 16 carbs for the total carb count of 136 then divided that by 24 to arrive at 5.66667 grams per cookie. And I'm a geek so I also calculated the protein to 2 grams per cookie Enjoy :)
Thanks so much for this recipe!!! I just joined and I copied this recipe and called it, Low-Carb Peanut Butter Heaven!!!
BTW, does 1 or 3 cookie(s) = 3.6 net carbs?
How many cookies does the recipe make?
I like your recipe title :)
The recipe makes 24 of those little darlings and the net carb is the 5.6 per cookie :)
