Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1/4 cup artificial sweetener (I used Truvia, not calculated in nutritional totals)
2 ounces walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 egg whites
1 ounce butter, softened
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F
Combine and mix all dry ingredients.
Add softened butter and rub into dry ingredients until even (produces a slightly grainy texture).
Add egg whites and mix well.
Using a leveled tbsp, plop dough onto parchment paper. Press each cookie down with a fork. You can use your fingers to fix the shape.
Bake 18-20 minutes depending on desired -- brown-ness I guess. I like mine darker, so 20 minutes is good and still gives you a soft middle.
Remove to cool on a wire rack and munch away.
Notes: I used natural almond flour, not blanched, so my cookies are dark to begin with. I think either would be fine for the recipe.
I suggest melting some dark chocolate and dipping the cookies in half way for extra yumminess. Lindt 85%, 90% or even 99% would be good depending on your needs.
