- 6 tablespoon egg whites or whites from 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 4 drops natural green food coloring optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, powdered sweetener, and Simply Delish sugar free pistachio pudding mix.
- Add the egg whites, almond extract, and optional green food coloring. Stir with a rubber spatula, then use your hands to knead the dough until it’s smooth and holds together.
- Use a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons of dough, roughly a #20 scoop) to portion the dough into balls. If you want smaller cookies, use a medium scoop instead. Place the balls about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
- Gently flatten each ball to about ½ inch thick with a flat spatula. Bake at 350°F for 16–18 minutes, until the edges are set but the tops are still light in color.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then move them to a cooling rack. If you like, add a small red heart with sugar free red icing or press a bit of crushed sugar free candy cane into the tops while they’re slightly warm.
Notes
- Let cookies cool completely before storing; they firm up as they cool.
- If dough feels too soft to scoop, chill for 10-15 minutes before baking.
- For a brighter green color, add food coloring gradually; a few drops go a long way.
