When cookie season rolls around, you are going to need something to tide you over. These cookies are easy to make and are great for tea, packed lunches, or for a work potluck. Or if your house is anything like mine, stash them in a decorative tin as gifts. Everyone loves baked goods!
The recipe itself has minimal prep and execution time; the most time-consuming part will be if you choose to separate the egg whites. To cut down on prep time, you can use packaged egg whites from a grocery store instead. You can also use a spoon, fork, or ice cream scoop to place cookie mounds on the baking sheet.
Yields 12 servings of Almond and Coconut Crackle Cookies.
The Preparation
- 2 large egg white
- 8 tablespoons allulose
- 1 cup almonds, sliced
- 1/4 cup unsweetened toasted coconut flakes
The Execution
1. Preheat oven to 325F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Combine egg whites and allulose into a mixing bowl.
3. Whisk egg whites and sweetener in the mixing bowl until mixture is thick, but not foamy.
4. Stir in sliced almonds and unsweetened coconut flakes. Whip ingredients until mixture is an evenly distributed cookie batter.
5. Spoon or scoop cookie batter into mounds on to the baking sheet.
6. Space cookie batter mounds evenly and generously on the baking sheet. Flatten the top of the mounds with the spoon or scoop.
7. Bake cookies for 10 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet in the oven.
8. Bake cookies for another 8-10 minutes until they are toasted and crisp. Remove baking sheet from oven and cool.

Can erythritol be used instead of the allulose?
This recipe would not turn out the same way with erythritol. Allulose is special in the sense that it can caramelize and retain the crispiness when cooled. Erythritol re-crystalizes when it cools, so it would give you a more fall-apart texture and more grittiness.
I used 4 tablespoons of erythritol instead and they turned out very good.
Thanks for letting us know Travis – much appreciated! Super glad you enjoyed them!
It was a great recipe. we loved it. if we ever come across we will try it with allulose. Ive tried multiple recipes today.. all great.
Really happy to hear Travis – thanks so much for all the positive feedback!
I tried these today, and they never crisped up. Turned out chewy. If I would have cooked them longer they would have burned. I will use 1 egg white next time since my eggs were almost XL eggs.
Could you use stevia?
Allulose hardens like regular sugar so I don’t think stevia would work well as a substitute in this recipe.
Can you use xylitol instead of allulose?
Tha
Hello Susan,
Yes, you can. However, since xylitol is a bit sweeter, you’ll only need around 5-6 tablespoons of it.
