Chocolate Almond Cookies


My mom got this recipe from a  friend of hers in Jerusalem, and decided to make a chocolate, sugar-free version. This was my first time making them on my own, and they're so good!! The best part is that there are only 4 ingredients!







Recipe:

 (Creates about a dozen cookies)

1.5 Cups Sliced Almonds
1/2 Cup Coconut Sugar or Xylitol
2 Egg Whites
1/4 cup Cacao Powder
Optional: Unsweetened Shredded Coconut may be sprinkled on top
Optional: Coconut Oil to grease the baking sheet


Directions: 

Preset the oven to 180˚C, or 350˚F.

Whisk egg whites in a large bowl. Add in the sweetener of your choice, the cacao powder, and the almonds. Stir it all up until everything is evenly wet. 

Grease a baking sheet with coconut oil, or you can line the baking sheet with baking-safe wax paper. 

Scoop tablespoon-sized plops of the mixture onto the baking sheet, and pat them so they are somewhat squished circles, but not flat. You may sprinkle coconut flakes on top at this time, if you wish. 

Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the coconut flakes start to turn brown. 

Then simply peel them off the wax paper, or get a spatula to get them off the greased sheet. 

They are amazing!! :D
