It takes longer but you use that to focus the mind in the moment instead of what will be... except, the cookies of course. I find using a basic sugar cookie recipe and modifying it to use swerve erythritol sugar substitute and lemon juice is a great way to introduce the flavor of erythritol to the palate. It has a cooling aftertaste that works well with citrus flavors. Lemon lime sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting are awesome.
But obviously any cookie is good. Just make sure to use only a fork to mix everything.
Creaming butter and cream cheese together is a good way to meditate. You can spend hours waiting for the butter and cream cheese to get to room temperature, or start early and drag you fork across the butter in a mindless trance. Scraping grooves into the butter and slowly working the butter can be relaxing.
If you like citrus flavors these lemon cream cheese cookies are good:

Otherwise, any cookie recipe that uses butter would work.
I usually modify any recipes I find with coconut flour and/or almond flour and substitute swerve sugar for regular sugar.
The search for flour substitutes can fill up hours of time with a comforting search that does not involve politics, strife, or political madness. And it ends with low carb tasty snacks.
