Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cups sugar
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons lemon zest
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a separate, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
Gently fold the vanilla extract into the beaten egg whites.
Carefully fold the egg white mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix until combined, but avoid deflating the egg whites too much.
Add the chopped nuts into the dough and fold gently to incorporate.
Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy them as a delicious Passover dessert or snack!
