Ingredients
- 200 g (2 cups) almond flour
- 200 g (1 cup) powdered Erythritol or icing sugar
- 60 g (¼ cup) egg whites (from 2 large eggs)
- ½ tbsp earl grey tea optional
- zest of 1 unwaxed lemon
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- a couple drops almond extract
- 2 drops liquid stevia
Instructions
- Put the tea in a pestle and mortar and grind to a fine powder if using.
- Using a stand or hand mixer, whisk the egg whites and lemon juice until you have soft peaks.
- Sift the powdered Erythritol (or icing sugar) and almond flour over the whisked eggs and add the zest and tea. Fold everything together until you have a fairly firm paste.
- Form the paste into a log shape, cover with clingfilm and chill in the fridge for an hour or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 160C (325F). Line two heavy trays with baking paper. Fill a shallow plate with powdered Erythritol (or icing sugar).
- Cut walnut sized chunks out of your paste and shape into little balls on the palm of your hand. Flatten to a disk (or shape them as you like - diamond shape is traditional) and then roll in the icing sugar and place on the prepared tray.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes. When you take the cookies out of the oven they will still be quite soft. Carefully transfer onto a cooling rack with a spatula and leave to cool. Once they cool down the exterior will become crisper while the centres will still be soft.
- Keep in a cookies in an airtight tin and enjoy over the week.
