  1. Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until foamy. 0:14
  2. Add the 70 g powdered sweetener in two batches and keep beating until stiff peaks form. 0:26
  3. Sift in the almond flour and fold it in with a spatula until it comes together into a soft dough. 0:48
  4. Divide the dough into 12 pieces (about 28 g each), roll into balls with gloved hands, set them on a lined tray and press each down a little. 1:28
  5. Sift a little more powdered sweetener over the tops. 2:02
  6. Bake in a preheated 170°C (340°F) oven for 20 minutes, until lightly golden, then cool. 2:22

Tip. The cook says you can divide the dough into more, smaller cookies; keep an eye on them in the oven. Use a powdered keto sweetener such as erythritol or monk fruit.

Vitamin E High33%

4.9 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (100%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Magnesium Source13%

53 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (99%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Show the other 13
Zinc5%

0.6 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (100%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Calcium4%

52 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (99%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Iron4%

0.7 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (99%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Potassium3%

150 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (94%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Selenium3%

1.9 µg a serve, mostly from egg whites (58%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Folate2%

8.7 µg a serve, mostly from almond flour (97%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin B62%

0 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (100%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Vitamin A0%

0 µg a serve. Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Vitamin C0%

0 mg a serve. An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Vitamin D0%

0 µg a serve. Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin K0%

0 µg a serve. Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Vitamin B120%

0 µg a serve, mostly from egg whites (100%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Omega-30%

0 g a serve. Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
