Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the dry ingredients until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Add the almond extract and vanilla extract to the mixture, folding gently until incorporated.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- If desired, press a few sliced almonds into the tops of the cookies for decoration.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the dry ingredients.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest for a different flavor profile.
