This is the second original cookie recipe I have developed to assist with a healthier diet and the lowering of cholesterol in the diet. This is an amazingly delicious and simple cookie. You could dress it up a bit by adding some chopped dried cranberries and some chopped candied ginger...but they are perfectly good plain.."just as is". I hope you love these new healthier desserts!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup almond meal
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2/3 cup canola oil
  • 2 large egg whites

How To Make no cholesterol almond cookies

  • Step 1
    Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Step 2
    Mix oil, eggs and extracts in a separate bowl. Combine with the dry ingredients just until the dough comes together.
  • Step 3
    Chill dough an hour.
  • Step 4
    Make 1 1/4 - 1 1/2inch balls of dough. The dough will need a good squeeze to stick together. Place 12 balls of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet. Gently flatten each with a fork.
  • Step 5
    Bake in a 375 degree oven (350 for a convection oven)for 11 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Remove from oven and rest 2 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely. Store airtight. Makes 32 cookies.
