Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and granulated sugar until well blended.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This will take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the almond flour and sugar mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Once the mixture is integrated and smooth, add the almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt, then gently fold them into the batter.
Using a teaspoon, scoop the dough and shape it into small balls about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Roll each ball in powdered sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
With your finger, gently press the top of each ball to slightly flatten.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly golden on the edges but still pale on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your gluten-free amaretti biscuits with a cup of coffee or tea!
