My husband named these cookies not only for their taste, but because you can eat them without guilt if you are counting carbs, or watching your waste line, & they taste amazing. These are by far the best dessert cookie I have created since going low carb just over a month & a half ago. There is no guilt because they are 68 calories per cookie, only 1 gram of sugar, 2 grams of fiber, & only 4 carbs but the NET CARB is only 2 because of the fiber. ASIDE FROM THE NUTRITION THEY'RE JUST' DELICIOUS. The Mexican Vanilla was a gift from my friend here @ Just a Pinch Phyllis Lively. I love it.
