Units
Scale
- 4 egg whites
- 400 grams almond flower
- 240 grams of sugar
- bowl with icing sugar to roll the dough balls in
- pinch of salt
- 10 ml almond extract (half up to full little bottle)
Instructions
- Separate the eggs, we are only using the egg whites.
- Whisk the egg whites in a bowl a little.
- Add the almond extract to the egg whites and mix well.
- Mix the sugar with the almond flour well.
- Add the sugar with almond flour mix to the egg whites.
- Mix well with hands or use a rubber scraper
- Cool the dough in your fridge for at least an hour, but skip if you don’t have the time
- Make little balls and roll them in a bowl with icing sugar so they are covered nicely
- Here you go 🙂
- Put the balls on a baking tray
- Use two fingers to press each ball into a cookie shape
- Preheat your oven till 180 Celsius or 350 Fahrenheit
- Bake your cookies anywhere from 13 to 20 minutes depending on you taste. 13 minutes leaves them more moist, 20 minutes gives them more crunch.
- Here is the end result
- They should keep well at least 10 days if stored in an airtight container. They never last that long in our family of five.
- Buon appetito!
Notes
You can add a little Amaretto di Saronno if you like liquor. In case you want a lot of that, just add same relative amount almond flour and sugar.
Adding lemon zest with limoncello will turn these in a groovy fresh variety.
