Ingredients
- 200 grams Whole almonds
- 3 large Egg whites
- 120 grams Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Spread the almonds on a separate baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until they are lightly colored and fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly.
Step 3
Once the almonds are cool, chop them coarsely and set aside.
Step 4
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or stand mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form.
Step 5
Gradually add the erythritol sweetener to the egg whites while continuing to beat them until you achieve stiff peaks.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chopped almonds, vanilla extract, and salt into the egg white mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
Step 7
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each mound for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the cookies are firm and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet.
Step 9
Once cooled, store the biscotti in an airtight container. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite sugar-free beverage!
