Almond Coconut Macaroons - Low-Carb Recipe

One of my favorites. As much as I eat macaroons, love, I'm glad I found a low carbohydrate recipe for them. It does not mean that I want all that I can eat, but I can eat more than before, without being guilty! I have included an almond cookie recipe as a bonus! Enjoy them both!

Almond Coconut macaroons

4 egg whites

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 ° F-160 ° C.

Place in a bowl, stir whip the egg whites, salt and vanilla sugar until fluffy.

Slowly pour in the Splenda. Whip stiff - but not dry. Fold in the almonds and coconut.

Interpret line a baking tray with baking paper. Drop the macaroon batter by rounded tablespoons about 1 / 2 to 1 inch 25mm (except on the parchment macaroons do not rise or spread, so you can shareit closely).

Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn heat up the oven, open the door slightly and let the macaroons sit in the oven until cool - this keeps the moisture content.
