Mary Tyler Moore's Almond Cookies (corrected)

Book: Steve
Chapter: Cookie

Makes 30 cookies, 15 servings.
The MTM recipe that has been floating around on the internet for
years is a bad recipe. Somebody, somewhere, transposed some ingredients or amounts, or something.
This is a pretty good corrected recipe.
Makes 30 cookies. Two cookies per serving at 13 gm/carb/serving.

The "leave it in the oven" technique is from my Mom. That's the way she always did it. Why fool with success?
Serves: 15

2 Jumbo egg egg whites (or 3 large)
Pinch salt
1/4 cup splenda
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Beat egg whites until frothy.
Add salt and cream of tartar and beat until stiff.
Add sugar and Splenda a tablespoon at a time, beating constantly.
Beat until glossy.
Add flavorings. Beat well.

Drop or pipe (I use a ziplock bag with a cut corner} by rounded tablespoonfuls on parchment lined cookie sheets.

Place in oven.

Immediately Turn OFF oven and let stand overnight or 6 hours minimum.

Don't open the oven prematurely.

...........................................

Any flavor of extract seems to work. Food coloring is nice for the mint or cherry varieties.

A favorite version, (butwith a marked increase in carbs) is mint extract and 1 package of mint chocolate chips.

Chapter: SOUP

Really good. Can be served with a sauce rouille and crusty bread or crostini. Choose fresh tomatoes or canned (if low sodium). Some canned tomatoes are so salty they can ruin a soup.

Any combination of firm ocean fish, shellfish, scallop,etc. will work. Fresh is better.

1 49 1/2-ounce can "Swanson's Broth: Chicken 1/3 Less Sodium, No Fat"
