Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt to ensure an even mixture.
Step 3
In a separate clean bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Step 4
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the almond flour mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites too much.

Add the almond extract and mix gently until a sticky dough forms.
Step 6
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Step 7
Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and have developed a signature crackled appearance.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Step 10
Serve with coffee, tea, or dessert wine, and enjoy!
