Chewy, moist and delicious, a wonderful cookie that happens to be sugar free. This recipe is designed to work with Nature Sweet Crystals - Sugar Replacer, Splenda does not work with these proportions.
Make sure you use the parchment paper to line your baking sheet (or a Silpat) or you will have to pry the cookies from the surface.
Another great cookie tip is to pick up a one inch ‘ice cream scoop’ from the kitchen gadget section of your grocery store.
It is made for measuring an even portion for perfect batches of cookies and is invaluable.
These will become a family favorite as they are fabulously simple and taste superb.
¾ cup Nature Sweet Crystals - Sugar Replacer
2 egg whites
½ teaspoon almond extract
2 ¼ cups sliced unblanched almonds, about 10 ounces
Parchment paper (available in grocery stores near the plastic wrap)
Lightly spray each of two baking sheets with nonstick vegetable cooking spray. Place a sheet of parchment paper on each (parchment wont slide if you use the cooking spray first). Preheat oven to 350 degrees.These will become a family favorite as they are fabulously simple and taste superb.
