Almond Cookies (Gluten Free/ Refined Sugar Free/ Grain Free/Dairy Free)

I was offered these cookies not long after I had found out about my food allergies.  The recipe is from an Italian friend of mine. The only thing I changed was the sugar. Her original recipe had white sugar.

Best of all there are only four ingredients!

Almond Cookies (Gluten Free/ Refined Sugar Free/ Grain Free)
4 c. almond flour
1 c. palm sugar (or desired granular sugar)
3 egg whites
1/4-1/2 c. slivered almonds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Beat eggs whites and sugar for five minutes; add almond flour, mix. Measure one teaspoon of paste and roll into balls with wet hands.( so it doesn’t stick to hands)
Roll balls in slivered almonds, place onto parchment paper lined cookie sheet, flatten somewhat.
Bake 15 minutes. Don’t remove off paper until cool.
