Ingredients

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 2 large egg whites
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup sliced almonds (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, almond flour, and salt.
  • Whisk Egg Whites: In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg whites with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until they form soft peaks.
  • Combine: Slowly add the dry mixture to the whipped egg whites, gently folding them together until fully incorporated. Stir in the almond extract and vanilla extract.
  • Scoop the Dough: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top, if desired.
  • Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden, but the centers are still soft.
  • Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • These cookies have a chewy texture and are naturally gluten-free thanks to the almond flour.
  • You can also use chopped almonds instead of sliced almonds for a crunchier topping.
  • The cookies may spread a little during baking, so be sure to space them out sufficiently.
