Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt to ensure an even mixture.
In a separate clean bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the almond flour mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites too much.
Add the almond extract and mix gently until a sticky dough forms.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and have developed a signature crackled appearance.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Serve with coffee, tea, or dessert wine, and enjoy!
