I would get the bread flour for these, they will be higher in protein value if you use bread flour.

4 1/2 cups of flour = 72 TB. =1.5 TB. per cookie of starch or-9 carbohydrate grams of starch & <1 TB. sugar cal.
What is Bread Flour?

What is bread flour? Can I substitute all-purpose flour?

Bread flour is a high-protein flour, specially formulated for making yeast breads. The combination of extra protein, a tiny bit of malted barley to help the yeast, and vitamin C or potassium bromate to help the formation of the gluten, helps the dough rise and retain gasses as it bakes, resulting in greater volume and better texture.

You can certainly substitute all-purpose flour in a recipe, but the results will be less spectacular. If you have a box of wheat gluten handy, you can add a tablespoon or so to your bread recipe to get essentially the same results as if you had used the bread flour.

These cookies have 14 grams of carbohydrate before decorating. Adding Splenda brown or white maybe mixed with cocoa, cinnamon or try some sugar free instant pudding in pistachio or butterscotch (dry). Not overwhelming for a modest diet choice.
