Atkins Cookie Recipes

Ingredients:

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

Instructions:

Beaten egg whites and ground nuts are the base for dacquoise, a component
of classic European pastry making. Fill the centers with your choice
controlled carb jam.

1. Heat oven to 200° F. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.
