Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Blanched almonds
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, process the blanched almonds until they are finely chopped, but not too fine. You want some texture left.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, whisk together the egg whites, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Add the finely chopped almonds to the saucepan, stirring until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes to make it easier to handle.
Using two teaspoons, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until the biscuits are firm to the touch and light golden brown.
Remove from the oven and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
