Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and granulated sugar, stirring until well mixed.
In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are frothy but not stiff.
Fold the whisked egg whites into the almond flour and sugar mixture, then add the vanilla extract. Continue to mix until a thick, paste-like dough forms.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press a few sliced almonds onto the top of each macaroon to decorate.
Lightly dust the macaroons with powdered sugar using a fine sieve.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the edges are set.
Remove the macaroons from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
