Low Carb Japanese Green Tea Meringue Cookies (Atkins Diet Phase 1) | dietplan-101.com

This low-carb meringue cookie is sugar-free. Therefore, it is slightly different from normal meringue cookies in the way it looks as well as their taste. It is “fragile” and you need to be very careful when holding it.


Ingredients:

  • 3 egg whites (at room temperature, use 3-4 days old eggs)
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sweetener (or 12 sachets)
  • 1 tsp green tea powder
