Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond blanched, slivered or whole
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon ground
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup packed Coconut Sugar lyva organic or similar
Wet Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Almond Mixture
- Grind almonds and cinnamon into a fine paste using a food processor or blender.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, combine the almond-cinnamon paste, coconut sugar, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly.
Incorporate Wet Ingredients
- Add egg whites and softened butter to the dry mixture. Stir until well combined.
Adjust Consistency
- If the mixture is too thick, gradually add milk (or milk alternative), stirring until you achieve a cookie dough consistency – neither too thick nor too runny.
Prepare for Baking
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly with butter.
Bake the Cookies
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Cool and Garnish
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with chopped pistachios (optional).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, toast the almonds before grinding them. This will enhance their nutty aroma and taste.
- If you prefer a chewier cookie, reduce the baking time slightly. For crispier cookies, bake for a longer time.
- Experiment with different spices! Adding a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg can create unique flavor profiles.
- Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
