I'm not usually a huge fan of deviant paleo baking, but I made these cookies today and they are just too good not to share.

ALMOND MACAROONS
----------------------

3 egg whites
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup erythritol
1/4 tsp NuNaturals pure stevia extract
1 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 tsp almond extract

1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a large cookie sheet.
2. Beat egg whites and salt until frothy. Gradually add erythritol and stevia, beating continuously until mixture forms stiff peaks. By hand, fold in almonds, shredded coconut, and almond extract.
3. Drop by walnut-sized spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake in center of oven for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Store in a closed container.

I adapted this recipe from a book I got out of the library called Fabulous Lo Carb Cuisine by Ruth Glick.
