Gluten Free, Keto Amaretti Cookies

amaretticrisp.jpg

This recipe reminds me of the amaretti cookies at my favorite Italian bakery. I can’t believe how easy they were to make too! Enjoy…and thank me later!!

Ingredients: (makes 20 cookies)

2 cups of almond flour

1/3 cup Bestie Powdered Monkfruit/Allulose

1/4 cup Pyure sweetener

3 egg whites

1 teaspoon almond extract

Powdered Bestie for dusting at the end

**You can use 1 type of sweetener if that’s all you have, but I like to limit the eryhlitol because of the taste.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper set aside. 

  2. Whisk together in a large bowl almond flour, powdered sweetener and salt until thoroughly combined. Set aside.

  3. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer or a stand mixer until soft peaks form.

  4. Gently fold in half the beaten egg whites onto the almond mixture. Fold in the egg whites slowly to produce a thick and stiff paste .

  5. Fold in almond extract until just combined.

  6. Using your hands, gently form 1-inch rounds and place them on the baking sheet. You can flatten them slightly. Let rest for two hours uncovered to harden.

  7. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until tops are a light golden brown. Allow to cool completely before removing from the baking sheet and sprinkle with powdered sweetener.

  8. Store in an airtight container for about a week. 

**These are absolutely YUM!! This same dough would work well for a thumbprint cookie!
