Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 5 oz coconut flakes
- 5 tbsp erythritol
- 1 pinch salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 4 egg whites
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flakes, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites together with the erythritol until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy meringue.
- Fold Egg Whites into Batter: Gradually add the whipped egg whites to the almond flour mixture in small portions. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together, preserving the airiness without deflating the batter.
- Form Cookies and Bake: Using a tablespoon, spoon dollops of the batter onto the lined baking sheet, shaping them into cookie forms. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies turn a light brownish color, signaling they are ready.
Notes
- You can substitute erythritol with another keto-friendly sweetener if desired.
- Ensure egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for maximum fluffiness.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- To add variety, consider mixing in sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
- Be careful not to overbake to avoid drying out the cookies.
