Atkins Cookie Recipes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup toasted almonds
10 packets sugar substitute
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cream of tartar

Instructions:

Heat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a
food processor, chop nuts with sugar substitute until nuts are finely
ground. In a large bowl, with electric mixer at high speed, beat egg
whites until soft peaks form. Beat in cream of tartar and beat until
stiff. Gently fold in nut mixture.

With a spoon, drop 8 evenly spaced mounds onto prepared baking sheet. Make
a depression in center of each with the back of the spoon.

Bake meringues on center oven rack 1 1/2 hours, until golden and very dry.
Turn off oven and let meringues dry in oven until cool. Carefully peel
meringues off foil.
