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 and almond flour before mixing to eliminate lumps and ensure an even, vibrant green color throughout your cookies.
Room Temperature Egg Whites are Essential 🥚
Let egg whites sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before whipping to achieve maximum volume and stability, creating that signature chewy, slightly sticky texture.
Don't Overbeat the Meringue 💪
Whip egg whites only until stiff peaks form, then gently fold in dry ingredients—overbeating causes the mixture to become grainy and deflate, resulting in flat, dense cookies.
Double-Dip for Crinkle Perfection ✨
Dust dough balls in powdered sugar, chill for 10 minutes, then dip again in powdered sugar before baking to create those beautiful deep cracks and stark color contrast.
Test for Doneness Gently 👆
Cookies are ready when the exterior is set and slightly crackled but the centers still feel slightly soft to a gentle touch—they'll firm up as they cool for that ideal chewy interior.
