Hmmm.. I just tried one.. Yeh, wow.. Not a fan at all.. Hahaha.. Unless I just fucked it up somehow (although I followed the recipe exactly).. Will try again tomorrow for good measure.. But so far, not my kinda thing at all.. Haha
I make macaroons with almond meal and meringue (except that has a shitton of sugar and I haven't found a way around that yet, stevia tastes weird) and they taste amazeballs. I've been known to eat the whole batch in one sitting.
I wasn't a fan of the chocolate chips in it but tried another version without and they just tasted like almond biscuits.
I made another alteration today with coconut oil but found them to be a bit dry like they needed more oil.

They were a bit better today, definitely harder at least.. Dunno, they have a really bitter flavor for me.. Still not a huge fan.. Maybe it was the chocolate I used though (organic 85% no dairy/gluten etc etc).. Maybe just not an idea baking chocolate (nice normally)
150g Almomd Meal
40g Macadamia Oil
4g Stevia (might go for 2 or 3g next time)
1/2 tsp Vanilla Essence
40g roughly egg whites to help make a consistent batter
50g chopped dates
Made as per OP.
These are really good,but have that stevia after taste, will reduce the amount next time.

try using Natvia (from Coles/Woolies). it's a stevia blend. Use about 3/4 of the amount of sugar you'd normally use as a sub.
Also adds the bulk to the recipe that makes the cookies better.
no funny aftertaste either
you've already got dates in there so you don't need much...oh wait, SWEET TOOTH, I remember!
I usually start with 1/16 tsp of pure stevia and add another 1/16 tsp if needed, and test. Cookies usually do best with the bulk of a granular sweetener...even for the texture.
they're definitely not "sin free" but honestly, let's not associate food with sin.
that's just wrong. and what does it mean for it to be sinful anyway?
they are healthy and the macros are fine if they fit into what you are eating, otherwise they are a lovely alternative to the crap you buy, that's for sure. Nothing wrong with these as a treat.
If you use a stevia blend like Natvia you cut down on the carbs and they go all KETO
