Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Blanched almond flour
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the blanched almond flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to remove any lumps.
Step 3
In a separate, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer until soft peaks form.
Step 4
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites in small batches, ensuring the mixture remains airy and light.
Step 5
Add the vanilla and almond extracts to the mixture and fold gently until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 6
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dollops of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Gently press a few sliced almonds onto the top of each cookie for added texture and flavor.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers are set.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
