Low Carb Amaretti Cookies

Explore our low-carb amaretti cookies recipe, a delightful blend of almond flour, egg whites, and sweetener.

These guilt-free treats offer a satisfying crunch and a hint of almond flavor without the excess carbs. Perfect for those on a low-carb diet seeking a tasty, yet healthy alternative to traditional cookies.

I was in the mood for almond cookies and thought of making a low carb Amaretti.  Typically in my Italian family you would see amaretti cookies on special occasions such as a wedding, baptisms or other traditional parties or celebrations. 

I decided I would make them to enjoy and to also use in a keto tiramisu dessert instead of using Lady Fingers which are full of sugar. This Sugar Free Oatmeal Cookies recipe is one of my favorites.

This amaretti recipe is so simple and easy to make with only 4 ingredients.  The only time-consuming part is the wait time because they have to sit for 2 hours on the baking sheet before placing them in the oven for 30 minutes at 300.

Check out the video below to see how I made them.  Full recipe is below the video.

Have a look at my Keto Tiramisu recipe which uses these amaretti cookies instead of lady fingers.

These cookies can also be used for many different recipes that require a crust such as cheesecake. Instead of using graham crackers you can have an almond crust withe these cookies instead.
