Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond flour
- 2 large Egg whites
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy but not stiff. Add the honey, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and mix until well incorporated.
Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press a few sliced almonds on top of each cookie for added texture and presentation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
