Best in the World Oatmeal Cookies, are made with 1/4 cup of cornstarch. I decided to use my favorite recipe as a base for making the Levain Oatmeal Raisin Cookie copycat.
You need to get that sugar out to substantially cut carbs in oatmeal cookies, which means decreasing the total sugar called for in the recipe by 75 percent, or 2 cups, and adding an extra half-cup of raisins for added sweetness. You can also add a baking-friendly sugar substitute, such as powdered stevia.
Almond flour is the baker's choice for low-carb cookies because it has a mild, buttery, nutty flavor that works with almost any flavoring ingredient. Substitute an equal amount of almond flour for wheat flour to get the low-carb action rolling.
