Sugar Free, Wheat Free!

I am on the search for sugar free, wheat free  recipes. They are as easy to find as one would think. And when you do find some, they seem rather complicated. So begins my journey into creating my own recipes.
This recipe started out completely different and went through a couple transformations before I got it just the way I wanted. There is always room for improvement so if you come up with something better drop me a line! Also keep in mind i have no formal training in creating and writing recipes....just my own trial and error.
Enjoy!

Sandie's Chocolate Fudge Cookies

1 1/2 Cups Xyletol
1/2 Cup Stevia
1/2 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa
2 1/2 Cups Walnuts or Pecans
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
1/2 Cup Sour Cream

Preheat oven to 320 degrees. 
Stir together xyletol, stevia and cocoa. Mix in eggs, one at a time until blended. fold in sour cream. Add nuts and coconut flour just until blended.

I use a large scoop to form my cookies. If you use a smaller (read "normal" here..lol) size scoop you may need to adjust cooking time. Place cookies on baking sheet and mush down slightly. Bake for 16 minutes.

Let cool on baking sheet before removing.
This yielded 15 large cookies.

This produced a soft, fudgy, chewey cookie =0)
