Ingredients
1 cup (6 ½ oz.) Truvia Cane Sugar Blend
1 ½ cups (5 oz.) sifted almond flour
4 egg whites, room temperature**
⅛ tsp cream of tartar
2 Tbsp Truvia Cane Sugar Blend
¼ cup sugar-free raspberry or strawberry preserves
Directions
- 1.
Heat oven to 375° F.
- 2.
Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper; spray paper with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix 1 cup Truvia Cane Sugar Blend and almond flour.
- 3.
In mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed about 1 minute or until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat 2 to 3 minutes or until soft peaks form.
- 4.
Reduce speed to low; beat in 2 tablespoons Truvia Cane Sugar Blend. Increase speed to high, and beat until glossy, stiff peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flour mixture, and carefully fold in until combined, being careful not to deflate egg whites.
- 5.
Place batter in decorating bag fitted with large round tip. Pipe 48 (1-inch) rounds onto cookie sheets. With wet finger, gently press down peaks on macaroons.
- 6.
Place macaroons in oven, and immediately lower oven temperature to 300° F. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely on pans before removing, about 20 minutes.
- 7.
Place preserves in small bowl. Stir slightly to break up chunks if necessary. Fill each pair of cookies with ½ teaspoon preserves.
