egg whites

🥗Healthier: aquafaba

Aquafaba is a vegan substitute that mimics egg whites.

Whisk egg whites by hand until frothy, not making a meringue.

Add 1 cup icing sugar and 1 cup ground almonds to the egg whites.

Mix until a thick paste forms, resembling cookie dough.

Add 4 teaspoons of espresso powder and a pinch of salt to the mixture.

If the dough becomes sticky, wet your hands with water to make it easier to handle.

Divide the dough into thirds, then cut each third in half, and then each half into three pieces to yield 36 cookies.

Shape each piece into round balls, wetting hands as necessary.

Press an espresso coffee bean into the center of each ball.

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

Bake the cookies for 15 to 18 minutes until a thin crust forms on the outside.

Let the cookies cool completely on the tray before handling.
