Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 150 grams Granulated erythritol
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Amaretto extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 24 pieces Blanched almond slivers
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated erythritol, and salt. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become frothy and form soft peaks.
Step 4
Gently fold the whisked egg whites into the almond flour mixture. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites to maintain some fluffiness.
Step 5
Add the amaretto extract and vanilla extract to the mixture, folding everything together until a sticky dough forms.
Step 6
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, portion about 1 tablespoon of the dough for each biscuit and roll it into a ball. You should have approximately 24 balls.
Step 7
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Lightly press one blanched almond sliver onto the top of each ball to slightly flatten it.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the biscuits turn a light golden brown and develop a slight crust on the outside.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the biscuits cool completely on the sheet as they will firm up more while cooling.
Step 10
Once cooled, transfer the biscuits to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
