Amaretti
Chewy Italian cookies with a hint of almond.
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups finely milled almond flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300 F.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, sugar, and salt until evenly incorporated; set aside.
Add egg whites and lemon juice to a bowl and whisk vigorously (or whip using an electric mixer) until soft peaks form.
Add beaten egg whites and almond extract to the dry ingredients and stir until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls (about 24 cookies), and arrange on parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes until the cookie tops are cracked and their bottoms are golden. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack for 15 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
