Author: Dom Ruane

Ingredients:

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven at 325° F.
  2. Using a hand mixer, whisk egg whites in a bowl until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla and almond extract with a pinch of salt and optional lemon zest to the egg whites. Set aside.
  3. Whisk together almond flour and sugar, then pour over egg whites. Fold the egg whites gentle to create a thick tacky batter.
  4. Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, scoop cookies into even pieces and place onto a prepared sheet tray.
  5. Roll pieces into balls, then roll in almonds, then roll in powdered sugar. Place back onto the sheet tray and press gently to form a disc. Repeat.
  6. Bake for 25 - 28 minutes or until the tops and bottoms are slightly golden.
  7. Enjoy!
