Witches' Fingers Cookies
These Paleo-friendly Witches’ Finger Cookies are naturally gluten-free and made with an egg white base, matcha green tea powder for color, and a whole almond for the nail!
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 4 separated egg whites about 1/2 cup
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder note that many health stores sell it in bulk
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup whole almonds
Instructions
- Working with either the base of your stand mixer or a bowl and your hand mixer, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Whip on high until soft peeks form (they'll flop over slightly).
- Add the vanilla extract and green tea powder, blend until combined.
- Carefully add the powdered sugar about 1 tablespoon at a time, until all is incorporated and you have stiff peeks (the mix will hold a peek on your finger or mixer when pulled out).
- Spoon the mix into a piping bag and line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper. Pipe about 3" squiggly-lined rows of the green mix until the mix is gone. Add an almond to the end of each green line with the pointy-end pointing out.
- Bake at 225 F for 60 to 90 minutes, keeping them in there as long as you can but pulling out if it looks like they may burn. Remove from the oven, let cool for at least 15 minutes, and then enjoy!
