Ingredients:

• 0.25 cup almond flour
• 0.75 cup coconut flour
• 3 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg whites, vanilla extract, almond extract, monk fruit sweetener, and lemon zest until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
5. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork or your fingers.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
