Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 egg whites
• Pinch of salt
• ½ teaspoon almond extract (or Amaretto liqueur)
• Powdered sugar for rolling the cookies

Directions

• Prepare one large baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper.
• Sift the flours and sugar into a large bowl.
• Using a stand or hand mixer, whisk the egg whites with the salt until soft peaks form. Whisk in the almond extract (or liqueur) just until combined.
• Transfer the whites into the dry ingredients and mix with your hands until a sticky dough forms.
• Preheat your oven to 300F degrees.
• Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, roll into the powdered sugar and place on the prepared baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Flatten the cookies slightly, then let them stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, while your oven is preheating.
• Bake the amaretti cookies until the tops are cracked and the cookies are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a wire rack so they can cool completely.
• The cookies will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
