Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 150 grams Granulated erythritol
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, granulated erythritol, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the erythritol throughout the almond flour.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites to soft peaks using an electric mixer. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes on medium speed.
Step 4
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the dry mixture. Start by adding a small portion of the egg whites to lighten the mixture, then fold in the rest until just combined.
Step 5
Add almond extract and vanilla extract to the mixture. Continue to fold gently until fully incorporated but be careful not to deflate the mixture.
Step 6
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, portion the dough into small balls, approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 cm (1.2 inches) apart.
Step 7
Lightly press the tops of the dough balls to flatten slightly, giving them the classic Amaretti shape.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
