Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) bag shirataki noodles (zero calories)
• 2 medium egg whites (35 calories)
• 3 tablespoons dutch-processed cocoa powder (30 calories)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons honey (stevia or splenda for baking, raw honey-45 calories, stevia version-zero!)
• 1 dash salt

Recipe

• 1 made-1 dozen teaspoon sized cookies. 10 calories a cookie!
• 2 375 for 10 minutes.
• 3 first- open and rinse those noodles!(shirataki also known as miracle noodle picture is of the traditional yam zero calorie which is what we use).
• 4 i rinse them in the strainer with hot water- be prepared, they don't smell good at all! i sprinkle them with a few teaspoons of lemon juice and let them sit a minute, then rinse again in hot water. let them drain well- water is our enemy in this recipe!
• 5 next, get out a big frying pan- you don't need any grease or anything the noodles don't tend to burn or brown( and i tried!)and they don't stick(they really are a miracle, huh?). dump the noodles in the pan and over high heat start cooking them. i stirred mine around a lot-.
• 6 as you stir and they start to dry, they start making a "squeaking" kind of noise as you push them. i kept mine on the heat until they lost translucency(some) and bits and parts seemed a bit "shriveled". take them off the heat. i know, at this point it doesn't look like much does it? don't worry if you over cook, it will just mean 1 or 2 less cookies. if you undercook it just means your cookie dough maybe a little runny, and you may need another teaspoon of coco powder to "thicken" it.
• 7 after they have cooled for a few minutes i put them in my handy mini ninja food processor. i ran it until it almost looked like a gel-.
• 8 then i threw in the honey,coco powder, baking powder,salt( i thought about vanilla, but as i said, moisture is the enemy when working with these noodles)and processed it quickly till blended. it seemed a hair on the runny side, so i threw it in the fridge for an hour and hoped for the best-.
• 9 here is what it looked like after being in the fridge-.
• 10 i covered a cookie sheet with a piece of tin and sprayed with pam non stick cooking spray.(no idea what would happen and figured if it was a mess the tin was easy clean up!).
• 11 i tried 5 minutes at 375- but the tops were clearly sticky/raw still. so 10 minutes. i was thrilled with what i had created!
• 12 sara was my brave, brave guinea pig. she topped hers with a touch of sugar free cool whip- i watched her face carefully, mostly to know if i was going to need to duck if she spit it back out- but she declared them a success! she said her first thought was it was a lot like the flourless chocolate torte in flavor(these are not very sweet, more of a dark chocolate flavor, you can add splenda or stevia for a sweet tooth!) 3 hours later i broke one a part and they are just as moist as can be.
• 13 truly a miracle cookie.
