Low Carb Almond Macadamia Cookies

I made these cookies because I love how they are so low in carb and I don't have to feel bad for indulging. My cookie routine: I have one in the morning before my meals with a nice cup of strong coffee and in the evening, I have another one (or two...) with some lemon tea and really, it doesn't even feel like I'm dieting.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Yields: 15 cookies

Ingredients

• 2  large eggs
• 150  g butter
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
• 5  tablespoons artificial sweetener (or to your taste)
• 200  g  almond flour
• 1  teaspoon baking powder
• 1  dash salt
• 60  g  macadamia nuts, chopped

Directions

1. Preheat over to 190 degrees Celsius.
2. Separate the whites from the yolks and beat the whites stiff.
3. In the bowl with the yolks add the vanilla extract and butter.
4. Add the sweetener and mix again.
5. Add the baking powder,salt and almond flour.
6. Gently fold in the egg whites. This will give your cookie it's height.
7. Finally, gently stir in the chopped nuts.
8. Divide the dough evenly into about 15 little heaps of dough and place them on a cookie sheet. Make sure they are far enough apart because they will spread out a little. Bake for about 12 minutes at 190 C for soft cookies, go to about 17 minutes for crunchier ones.
