Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 150 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 30 grams Sliced almonds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and powdered sugar, whisking gently to break up any clumps.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy but not stiff. Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt, and whisk gently to combine.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and mix with a spatula until a sticky dough forms.
Step 5
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 6
Gently press a few sliced almonds on top of each cookie for decoration.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
