It took a little trial and error, but I finally came up with a cookie recipe that my family and I love. The result? Crunchy, buttery, vanilla-flavored cookies with plenty of flavor, but no sugar, starch, or even egg. Need I say more?
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Using clean hands, knead until the mixture is well combined and the dough is smooth and free from clumps. Then shape the dough into small walnut-size balls. Place them on the lined baking sheet and flatten them with wet fingertips.
Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown. (Keep an eye on the cookies. They can get too brown very quickly.) Let cool completely before removing from the baking sheet. This is important because the hot cookies are very fragile. When cool, store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to one week.

Add 1/3 cup (60 g) dark chocolate chips (with a minimum cocoa content of 85 percent) to the dough to make delicious, low-sugar chocolate chip cookies.
