Ingredients
½ cup nuts, sesame seeds or sunflower seeds (no shells)1 cup all purpose flour½ cup oat flour½ pound (2 sticks) low fat cold butter(cut into ¼ inch chunks)½ teaspoon salt 2-3 tablespoons Sugar-Free Caramel Syrup
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees; In a food processor, grind up the seeds or nuts to a coarse powder, pulsing on and off to ensure that they don’t become over processed. Add the flours, butter and salt and pulse until evenly combined to a cornmeal-like consistency. Add 2 tablespoons of the syrup and mix with a fork just until the dough begins to hold together. Do not over mix. Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1” and cut into small circles, diamonds, or stars. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush the cookie tops lightly with additional syrup and sprinkle with additional chopped nuts. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until crisp and just brown on the edges. Cool on a rack.

    This recipe carries approximately 73 calories per serving. I did not include the syrup as I couldn't find it. Perhaps the recipe needs to be updated. - 12/14/11
