Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and sugar. Stir until well combined.
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.
4
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the almond flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together. It will be slightly sticky.
5
Place some powdered sugar in a small shallow bowl. This will be used for rolling the cookies.
6
Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a 1 inch ball.
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.
8
Then, gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly.
9
Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside and slightly soft in the center.
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.

Lastly, serve these homemade amaretti cookies!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Room Temperature Egg Whites 🥚Bring egg whites to room temperature before whipping to achieve maximum volume and stable peaks, which creates the signature light, airy texture of authentic amaretti cookies.
- Almond Flour Quality Matters 🌰Use finely ground almond flour (not almond meal) and sift it before mixing to remove lumps, ensuring a smooth batter and even almond flavor distribution throughout your cookies.
- Double Powdered Sugar Coating 🍨Roll cookies in powdered sugar twice—once before baking and again immediately after cooling—to create the signature crackled exterior while maintaining the chewy interior that defines premium amaretti.
- Precise Folding Technique 🎯Gently fold the almond flour mixture into whipped egg whites using a spatula with a bottom-to-top motion to preserve airiness and prevent deflating, which keeps cookies light and fluffy.
- Cool Before Coating ❄️Allow baked cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring and coating in the final powdered sugar layer to ensure the coating adheres properly without melting.
