Sorry about the thread jack. . .but I teach mythology as part of my class, and there is a King Polydectes in the Hercules story. I found myself calling him polyD. . .and laughing at my own pun. . .

Sorry. . .about the thread jack.

1tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350. Melt chocolate and butter over low heat in double-boiler (preferred method) or microwave. Allow to cool a bit prior to adding to rest of batter.

While butter and chocolate are melting combine eggs and polydextrose using mixer. Once combined, mix in glycerine, liquid Splenda, and vanilla. Next add erythritol, whey powder, and Carbquick, mixing well after adding, and scraping sides and bottom of bowl well.

Add butter and chocolate mixture and beat well. Once well incorporated, add chocolate chips and nuts. Bake 30 mins, or until toothpick comes out clean, in a 6x9 pan.

6 tablespoons water, heated
3/4 cup sweetener (1/2 Splenda-2 T. Erythritol-2 T. Diabetisweet)
1 tablespoon molasses
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups plus 2 T. almond flour (2 1/2 c. total flour)
3/4 cup Wheat Protein Isolate
2 tablespoons resistant starch (or extra almond flour)
1 1/2 teaspoons egg white powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1. Dissolve the polydextrose in the hot water, set aside to cool.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Cream together the sweeteners, molasses, coconut oil, and vanilla in a large bowl, as best as you can.
4. In another large bowl combine the flours, baking soda, ginger, salt, cinnamon, and cloves.
5. Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and beat while adding the polydextrose/water. Continue to mix until ingredients are incorporated.
6. Measure a heaping teaspoon of dough at time. Roll the dough into a little ball between the palms of your hands. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon dipped in splenda/ery/diabeti sweet mixture.
7. Bake cookies for 10-14 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool on a rack. They will be crispy when cool.

Allow plenty of room between cookies, as they will spread out. But this is what will make them nice and crunchy. Makes about 100 cookies.
2 tablespoons resistant starch (or extra almond flour)

I would say either will work. I kinda think that when that recipe was made up, most were using the corn starch version. But the wheat might work as well or better.
You said you found the wheat protein isolate on Netrition, I think they can explain it better than I can. But the type would be the 5000.

Personally I'd use extra light. (or regular) I wouldn't use extra virgin in the brownies, as I think it would be rather strong, and an odd taste in brownies. But this is very much a to your own taste thing.

Hope this helped at least some.
