Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour and granulated sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the almond flour mixture until well combined. Add the almond extract and mix until the dough is smooth.
- Using a spoon or a small scoop, form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Dust the tops of the dough balls generously with powdered sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden and the tops are crackly.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Helpful Tips:
- Nut-free variation: Substitute almond flour with finely ground sunflower seeds.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Texture: For extra chewiness, underbake the cookies by 1-2 minutes.
Pairings:
- Enjoy with a cup of Earl Grey tea or a glass of fresh almond milk.
- Serve alongside a bowl of fresh berries or a light lemon sorbet for a refreshing contrast.
