A naturally healthy "superfood", almonds have been shown to lower cholesterol. This Almond Snow Cookie recipe uses reduced-calorie margarine and whole wheat flour to make a delicious diabetic cookie.

Ingredients

    • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) trans fat free margarine, softened
    • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) reduced calorie trans fat free margarine, softened
    • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
    • 3 tsp Splenda®
    • 2 eggs
    • 3 tsp almond extract
    • 1 cup blanched almonds, finely ground
    • 2 cups all purpose flour
    • 1 cup whole wheat flour
    • 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar

Preparation

    • In a bowl, cream the margarines with a hand mixer. Mix in the sugars, Splenda, eggs and almond extract. With a spoon, stir in the almonds and flours.
    • Refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, bring to room temperature.
    • Preheat oven to 375°. In a shallow bowl, place confectioner's sugar. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll balls in sugar to coat evenly. Arrange balls on a baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Cool on a wire rack.
    • Presentation tip: Press a sliver of almond into top of dough ball before baking to create a professional look.
