Ingredients
- 200 grams almond flour
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
- 0.5 teaspoons almond extract
- 50 grams powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and granulated sugar. Stir well to ensure an even distribution.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy but not stiff. Add the Amaretto liqueur and almond extract, then mix well.
Step 4
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.
Step 5
Using your hands, shape the dough into small balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Step 6
Dust the tops of the cookies generously with powdered sugar for that signature Amaretto cookie look.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely before serving. They will firm up slightly as they cool.
Step 9
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
