Low Sug Italian Almond Cookies
- Ready In:

- Serves:

24
ingredients
- 8 ounces almond meal
- 2 cups maltitol (powdered)
- 3 egg whites
- 1⁄4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- 1 cup sliced almonds
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine almond flour and 1 1/2c powdered maltitol in mixing bowl with fork until consistent.
- While mixer is on low, add egg whites one at a time.
- Add the rest of the maltitol, the almond extract, and the flour. Mix until consistent.
- Drop onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper using a small cookie dough scoop or by the rounded iced-teaspoon full.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes until starting to brown. Remove from oven and let sit a couple more minutes on cookie sheet. Carefully remove to cooling rack.
- I was missing one ingredient. Next time I will press each dough ball slightly into a bowl filled with 1c sliced almonds before placing on cookie tray. This really makes the cookie! I didn't have any. They're not included in the nutritional value at the moment.
- This made 20 servings last night and is calculated as such. Should make 24. I used too much dough per scoop.
- This recipe was based on "Italian Almond Cookies II" at AllRecipes: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Italian-Almond-Cookies-II/Detail.aspx
- I had to more or less figure out how to make my own substitute for the almond paste, and it cut down a bit on regular flour at the same time. Ignore the picture there. These should be almost coated with a layer of the sliced almonds. I found the AllRecipes recipe when trying to recreate the famous Italian Almond cookies found at Giolitti's in Annapolis! Trust me -- they need the sliced almonds to be truly great. :).
