I love to bake almost carnivore cookies, cakes, and stuff. After a few years of trying I have come up with a carnivore flour that I can substitute into any tradition recipe from cakes to pies, muffins to cookies ... even sponge cake. Only one draw back. It is a labour intensive process. From mixing the batter; to lighly baking the batter, dehydrating it, and then grinding it into powder. Them baking it again into your recipe of choice. It is a labour of love because I love to bake, especially this time of year.

I am mid-process at the moment. I have the batter and pre-baked about half of it, but I will need one more day to finish baking and another to dehydrate.

But we need cookies now, says Minime. Sometimes you have to make exceptions to the almost carnivore element and just go low carb. The quickest and easiest way to make low-carb cookies is to open up a jar of peanut butter and scoop it onto a baking sheet and some parchment paper. It works. The cookies are a bit crumbly but they will give you that cookie feel.

I just so happened to have a 2/3 jar of peanut butter taking up space in the fridge. I added an egg, stevia drops to taste(maybe some vanilla), and about 4 scoops of collagen powder and 2 scoops of whey powder. I also snuck in some dark chocolate and butterscotch chips to make the low-carb a bit more marginal. Dark chocolate is generally low carb but the butterscotch not so much. I leave it to you to decide how sweet you want to make them. Now to get the pucker-up part suggested in the title, turn halved pecans sideways and then use the chips to make eyes and a nose. A warm treat for the house that is ready for a kiss.
