I would like to know of some good books that list all the carbs that are in foods.

I just tried this recipe and wanted to give some suggestions when making them. Oh, they were good, if anyone is wondering.
First of all, the carb count per cookie varies, of course, depending on the size of cookie you make.
1 cup peanut butter - 24g carbs*(See Note)
1 cup Splenda - 24g carbs
1 egg - 1g carb
Total Carbs - 49g
Total Carbs Per Large Cookie - 3.3g
Total Carbs Per Small Cookie - 1.7g
This recipe will yeild either 15 large cookies or around 30 small cookies.
*Note:(I didn't have any sugar free peanut butter so I used regular, a generic brand, which has only 3g carb per 2 Tbsp.)
Second, some suggestions for better results.
Be sure and not flatten them out too much. They taste better if they are a little on the thick side.
Don't leave them in the oven any longer than around 6 or 7 minutes. They will burn very quickly.
Let them cool completely before removing them from the pan.
*Making these cookies thick and not cooking them very long causes them to fall apart very easily. It seems they need some ingredient that will hold them together. If anyone out there has any suggestions, please post it here.
Enjoy!

Try adding some type of low carb bake mix. There are several options out there. Bob's Red Mill Farm sells one at ALL Kroger and Marsh stores. Carb quick has one too. It is sold in some grocery stores but I have not been able to find it locally. Netrition.com sells it in 1,3and 5lb bags under the name carbalose. It is the exact same as the carbquick. I will include a list of ingredients in it. I really like the carbalose flower. I use it just like I would flour. It does not have that soy after taste that I hate because it does not contain soy flour. That is what I hate about the atkins products, the soy after taste. Yes it does have some carbs, but well worth it during those special occasions. If I can make it with the carbalose flour, I am less likely to cheat on the real thing, lol. By the way I forgot to mention that I have been low carbing for 4 years now. I lost 170 pounds in the first 18 months of low carbing and have been maintaining ever since. I hope this helps. Good luck

Oooh these sound yummy. I like that they don't have any fake stuff in them (yucky protein powders, etc - sorry if anyone likes that stuff).
