Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Almond flour
- 150 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are light and slightly frothy, but not stiff.
Add the vanilla extract and almond extract to the egg whites, then pour the mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Mix the ingredients together with a spatula or your hands until a smooth, pliable dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each, and place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each cookie.
Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each cookie if desired, for a decorative touch or to later fill with jam or chocolate.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
