Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar, matcha powder, and salt. Set aside.

Wipe a medium bowl down with white vinegar, then add the egg whites.*

With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then add the almond extract.

Continue beating until stiff peaks form (the peaks will stand up but droop over, as shown above). Do not over-beat!

Fold all of the egg whites into the dry ingredients until fully combined. No need to be that gentle.

Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough.

Roll each cookie dough ball in the powdered sugar, then place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart.

Bake the amaretti cookies for about 22-25 minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Sift Your Matcha Powder 🍵
Sift the matcha powder with powdered sugar before folding into egg whites to eliminate lumps and ensure a smooth, vibrant green color throughout the cookies.
Room Temperature Egg Whites are Essential ❄️
Use egg whites at room temperature and whip them to stiff peaks—this creates the signature chewy texture and helps the cookies achieve that beautiful crackled surface.
Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄
Fold ingredients gently and minimally after combining egg whites; overmixing deflates the meringue and results in dense, cake-like cookies instead of the desired chewy-sticky texture.
Double-Roll for Perfect Coating 🎨
Roll dough balls in powdered sugar twice—once before baking and once immediately after—to achieve that stunning stark contrast and ensure even coating on all sides.
Underbake Slightly for Optimal Chewiness ⏱️
Remove cookies when edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone; they'll continue cooking as they cool, creating that perfect macaron-like chewy interior you're after.
