Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Blanched almond flour
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the blanched almond flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to remove any lumps.
In a separate, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites in small batches, ensuring the mixture remains airy and light.
Add the vanilla and almond extracts to the mixture and fold gently until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dollops of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press a few sliced almonds onto the top of each cookie for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers are set.
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.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
