Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 100 grams Granulated erythritol
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 30 grams Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated erythritol, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whip the egg whites using an electric mixer until they form soft peaks.
Gently fold the almond extract and vanilla extract into the egg whites.
Slowly fold the dry almond flour mixture into the egg whites until a soft dough forms.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, form small balls from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Gently press a few sliced almonds onto the top of each biscuit to add a decorative touch.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
