I found these that look pretty promising.  Here is the link to the original recipe: http://mariahealth.blogspot.com/2010/11/cannoli.html   She makes them into a cannoli that I bet is just delicious.  So many of her recipes are wonderful.  I think I would want to add some sweetness in the "cookie" though.

2 egg white
2 TBS butter (melted)
2 ounce cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup vanilla egg white or whey protein

Heat a pizzelle skillet on high. Whip the white until frothy, not stiff. Add the almond flour, vanilla whey and other ingredients. Mix until smooth.
Place 1 TBS dough onto greased skillet, close tightly. Let sit for 1-3 minutes depending on skillet directions. While you are removing, before it cools, roll into a cylinder shape. Set aside to cool.

I just bought some soy protein powder.  IS there a low carb soy protein powder.  I didn't realize that - Went to Health Hut today and just bought it and didn't read the label - Dumb!!!  BUT, On my behalf, when I see the product labeled Protein, I don't even think twice that there are carbs in it.  For example, meat is protein and hence, no carbs!!!  Where am I lacking in intelligence at this point and don't say EVERYWHERE!  LOL !

I actually went home and read the label and this one that I bought was a low carb protein powder ... WHEW!  So, Again I tried to make the pizzelle doegh and again it came out too thick.  So, I decided to make the recipe as it called for in the recipe book - regular flour although I used Xylitol and I bought JUMBO eggs.  And, now I see how the dough is supposed to look - very beautiful and a great deal thinner than the one I was making.  So, my last attempt to make low carb pizzelles is coming to an end I feel.  As I now know how the dough is supposed to look, I can adjust my recipe - I was using farm fresh medium eggs and will now use jumbo eggs. Will also use Soy Flour and Soy Protein Powder.   Forget just using the egg whites, cause I feel the natural egg state lends to the taste (although I could be wrong here - but please don't burst my bubble).  My goal is to make two dozen pizzelles for each person at work (small office) for Christmas.  Wish me a great deal of luck, as this will be my fourth attempt and I am getting tired of this....lol!!!  BUT, in the end if it all works out it will be worth the effort.

Well, maybe this evening I will attempt one last time (or so I say...this could go on to infinite) to make a low carb pizzelle.  Is this how a creative chef feels - frustrated and them many attempts.  I'll keep you all posted and once I create the recipe I will share with you all.
