INGREDIENT NOTES:
KETO SWEETENER:
- We are using the powdered version of erythritol in our recipe to have a smooth texture when mixed with egg whites. You may use allulose in powder form if you want.
WHITES OF EGG:
- Make sure that egg whites are at a normal surrounding temperature for better whipping, which results in maximum volume. Also, be careful to have no trace of yolk.
PROTEIN POWDER:
- We need the protein powder in gluten-free recipes to give our cookies the same texture as gluten-containing can. You may use the whey protein isolate(unflavored)/egg white protein powder.
CREAM OF TARTAR:
- Make sure this item doesn’t miss. As it keeps the fluffiness of egg white stable.
ESSENCE:
- Vanilla essence is the basic requirement to balance & complete the aroma & flavor of our baked goods. While essence of almond here is required to provide our cookies the traditional flavor of angel food cake. If you want to, you may ignore it.
FLOUR OF COCONUT:
- As the flour of coconut is too absorbent, the little addition provides significant stability in structure.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Warm up the oven at 150 degrees C & get to work.
- Cover a baking sheet/tray using the sheet of parchment.
- Include the egg whites in a mixing bowl(big).
- Beat them using an electric mixer at normal-full speed till they become foamy.
- Include the salt & cream of tartar in the foamy whites & then whip again till the formation of soft peaks.
- Stop the mixer & include a teaspoon of powdered sweetener, then beat again.
- Repeat the above point till all the sweetener is incorporated in the mixture.
- Whip till you get the stiff peaks & glossy mixture.
- At that moment, mix the essence of vanilla & almond with gentle hands.
- Include while sifting the baking powder, flour of coconut,& protein powder in a bowl(separate).
- Mix well & then add half of the solid mix to the meringue.
- Fold very gently with the meringue so that it doesn’t deflate.
- Similarly, add the other half of the dry mix.
- Now your cookie batter is ready.
- Grab a cookie scoop and drop the batter onto the baking tray/sheet(lined) at a particular distance.
- Shift the baking sheet/tray to the oven till you observe them light golden & stable to touch.
- It may take around 22 to 25 mins in the oven.
- Then remove the tray from the oven & leave it at the counter for ~five mins.
- After that, shift the cookies to the rack to cool completely.
- Now, your Keto Angel Cookies are ready to serve!
TIPS:
- While mixing the dry ingredients, always mix with soft and gentle hands. Otherwise, meringue will lose its fluffiness.
- Sprinkle the keto sweetener(powdered), if you like them sweeter.
- Erytritol will give you the crisper cookies while allulose will provide you with the chewy cookies. Go for the one whichever results you like.
- You may use the essence of lemon, cinnamon powder, etc., for the variety in flavor.
- The cooling of cookies till they come to the surrounding temperature is necessary to make them fully firm.
HOW TO PRESERVE(LEFTOVERS):
CHILLING:
- Upon cooling, save the cookies in the jar(sealed) & refrigerate them. Serve/consume the cookies within the next five days.
FREEZING:
- Arrange the cookies in a tray once they have cooled down. Shift the tray to the freezer. Once the cookies are frozen, transfer them to the bag(freezer-safe). You may defrost & give them a quick reheat to enjoy/serve them within the next sixty days.
NOTE:
- Although cookies don’t require reheating, a little reheating regains their crispness.
FAQs:
What could be the solution if that protein supplement isn’t with me?
- It’s better to include the protein powder for a more cakey texture. If you don’t have that, use one additional teaspoon of coconut flour.
May I use the chocolate chips or sprinkles?
- Add a few of the chocolate chips or sprinkles right before baking, but do remember to keep them keto friendly/sugar-free.
What might be the reason that my cookies are flat?
- It might be due to you haven’t beaten the whites properly or overmixed while adding the dry items. Be careful for these little mistakes that ruin all your work.
