Author Notes:

These low carb cookies are great to tuck in your lunch bag. They're also great served with your favorite low carb ice cream. Make this treat extra-special by serving your ice cream in an old-fashioned sundae glass on a dessert plate with a couple of cookies on the side. You can find these sundae glasses in the dollar store.

4. Drop generous teaspoons of the batter onto the baking sheets. You may want to use the old two-spoon method, using one spoon to dip the mixture out of the bowl and the second spoon to push the meringue mixture onto the baking sheet. Give the cookies room, spacing them about 1-inch apart on the baking sheet.

5. Bake about 20 minutes or until set. Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight metal container at room temperature.
