Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and granulated sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become frothy but not stiff peaks.
Fold the frothy egg whites into the dry ingredients. Add the almond extract and vanilla extract, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat completely.
Place the powdered sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently press the center of each cookie to slightly flatten it using your thumb or the back of a spoon.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies with coffee or tea and enjoy!
