Almond flour – You must use blanched almond flour, not almond meal. Granulated sweetener of choice – Either monk fruit sweetener or erythritol. Egg whites – Lightly beaten until soft peaks form. Save the yolks to make some custard. Almond extract – Gives the cookies a lovely almond flavor.
Using almond flour to make cookies brings the carbohydrate count down and increases the plant based fat in each cookie. Both of these combined together, make for a more blood sugar friendly cookie. The rich, nutty flavor of almond flour also has a subtle sweetness which means you can use less sweetener in your recipes.
