Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
First, preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and sugar. Stir until well combined.
- Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy using an electric mixer or whisk. Add in the almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Step 4
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the almond flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together. It will be slightly sticky.
- Step 5
Place some powdered sugar in a small shallow bowl. This will be used for rolling the cookies.
- Step 6
Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a 1 inch ball.
- Step 7
Roll the ball in powdered sugar until fully coated. Place the coated ball on the lined baking pan. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Step 8
Then, gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly.
- Step 9
Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside and slightly soft in the center.
- Step 10
Remove the pan from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Step 11
Lastly, serve these homemade amaretti cookies!
