Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) Truvía® Cane Sugar Blend

  • 11⁄2 cups (375 mL) sifted almond flour

  • 4 egg whites, room temperature

  • 1⁄8 tsp (.5 mL) cream of tartar

  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) Truvía® Cane Sugar Blend

  • 1⁄4 cup (62.5 mL) sugar-free raspberry or strawberry preserves

Directions

  • 1.

    Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • 2.

    Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper; spray paper with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix 1 cup (250 mL) Truvía® Cane Sugar Blend and almond flour.

  • 3.

    In mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed about 1 minute or until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat 2 to 3 minutes or until soft peaks form.

  • 4.

    Reduce speed to low; beat in 2 tablespoons (30 mL) Truvía® Cane Sugar Blend. Increase speed to high, and beat until glossy, stiff peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flour mixture, and carefully fold in until combined, being careful not to deflate egg whites.

  • 5.

    Place batter in decorating bag fitted with large round tip. Pipe 48 (1-inch) rounds onto cookie sheets. With wet finger, gently press down peaks on macaroons.

  • 6.

    Place macarons in oven, and immediately lower oven temperature to 300°F. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely on pans before removing, about 20 minutes.

  • 7.

    Place preserves in small bowl. Stir slightly to break up chunks if necessary. Fill each pair of cookies with 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) preserves. Serve immediately, or stack between layers of cooking parchment paper to store.
