Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 large large egg whites Must be at room temperature.
- 1 cup powdered sweetener (monk fruit or stevia) For keto-friendly option.
- 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
Optional Toppings
- 1 tablespoon crushed sugar-free peppermint candies For garnishing, not necessary.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a squeaky-clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until glossy and stiff peaks form.
- Slowly add the powdered sweetener to the egg whites, one spoonful at a time, while continuing to whip.
- Gently fold in the peppermint extract.
- Spoon or pipe the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies, if using.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until set and lightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet, as they will crisp up while cooling.
Notes
Ensure there is no egg yolk mixed in with your egg whites for the best fluff. Humidity can affect the final texture of the cookies, so keep them in a dry environment. Using a piping bag can help achieve neater cookie shapes.
