Method
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, sweetener, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites until just frothy—no peaks needed.
- Add the egg whites, Amaretto, and vanilla extract (if using) to the dry mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Scoop into ~12 cookies and bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden. Cool completely on tray.
