Ingredients
8 oz Almond Meal2 c Nature Sweet Powdered3 egg whites1/4 tsp Almond Extract1/4 c flour1 c sliced almonds
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine almond flour and 1 1/2c powdered maltitol in mixing bowl with fork until consistent.
While mixer is on low, add egg whites one at a time.
Add the rest of the maltitol, the almond extract, and the flour. Mix until consistent.
Pour sliced almonds into a bowl or onto a large plate.
Take a rounded cookie dough scoop full and coat with sliced almonds. Cookie scoop just helps measure. You'll probably need to do the actual coating using your hands. Dough will be very malleable. You might want more than a cup of sliced almonds on hand. Sometimes I run out. :) Don't skip this step. Having the crunchy outside and chewy inside makes the cookie!
Drop each coated scoop onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
Bake 15 to 20 minutes until cookies are just starting to brown. Remove from oven and let sit a couple more minutes on cookie sheet. Carefully remove to cooling rack.
This made 20 servings last night and is calculated as such. Should make 24. I used too much dough per scoop.

I had to more or less figure out how to make my own substitute for the almond paste, and it cut down a bit on regular flour at the same time. Ignore the picture there. These should be almost coated with a layer of the sliced almonds. I found the AllRecipes recipe when trying to recreate the famous Italian Almond cookies found at Giolitti's in Annapolis! Trust me... they need the sliced almonds to be truly great. :)
