Step by Step Method

Step 1

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Coarsely chop 1 cup pecans and set aside. Pulse remaining 1/2 cup pecans in a food processor with sugar, potato starch, salt, and cinnamon until finely ground (be careful not to pulse to a paste), then stir into egg whites. Stir in remaining cup chopped pecans.

Step 3

Drop 1/2 tablespoons of batter 2 inches apart on baking sheet and bake until cookies are lightly browned and slightly puffed, 15 to 17 minutes.

Step 4

Slide parchment onto a rack and cool cookies completely (cookies will crisp as they cool), then remove from paper. Bake and cool 2 more parchment-lined sheets of cookies in same manner.

Tips


  • Parchment paper.

So easy! I wasn't sure how this would work out but it worked out wonderful! My package of pecans was 7 ounces - so the used the whole package. I made my cookies a lot bigger than suggested but cooked the same time - these spread a lot - so next time I will be sure to make smaller cookies as suggested in the directions. Very good cookies which are low in calories and fat. Thanks for sharing!
