Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, beat together the butter and stevia until creamy.
Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine almond flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
For the filling, combine the almond meal and unsweetened applesauce in another bowl to form a paste.
Divide the dough into 16 equal portions. Flatten each piece slightly.
On eight of the pieces, place a small spoonful of almond paste in the center.
Cover with the remaining dough portions, sealing the edges to encase the filling completely.
Gently press the slivered almonds onto the tops of the cookies.
Brush the tops with egg white for a shiny finish.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.
