Mild addiction to Florentines...

Anyone know any good recipes to make a keto version?
This is one of my two biggest weaknesses, and if i can defeat it it would be awesome!

    Do you mean the cookies? i found this recipe. I haven't tried as I am allergic to nuts. You could probably sneak in some chocolate into this. I use the Ghiridelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips when I make cookies. They are a 0.5 carb each but the chips are bigger than normal chocolate chips. :

    Almond & Orange Florentines
    (makes 10 servings, 1.43:1 ratio)
    30 g Egg whites
    100 g Sliced almonds
    2 g Orange zest

    Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a heavy baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper brushed lightly with vegetable oil.

    Measure and briefly beat the egg whites. Then gently mix them with the sliced almonds and orange zest. Measure 13 g portions of the mix to make little mounds on the lined pan, spaced a bit apart. Dip a fork in a small bowl of water and flatten each mound. Make them as thin as possible without big gaps between the almond slices.

    Bake for about 12 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown. Cool completely before serving.
