Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup granulated erythritol
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
Chop the almonds and hazelnuts coarsely, then fold them into the dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites and vanilla extract into the nut and flour mixture just until combined.
Using a teaspoon, drop dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each mound.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden more as they cool.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
