Equipment

small cookie scooper

Ingredients

1½ cups almond flour
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
3/4 cup caster sugar *
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
pinch salt
1/4 cup powdered sugar

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F. Line a cookies sheet with parchment paper.
Add the powdered sugar to a small bowl. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine your almond flour, egg whites, sugar, vanilla and almond extracts until a cookie dough forms - you may need to use your hands.
Scoop out about 1 ½ tbs of dough and roll it into a ball. Dredge the ball in your powdered sugar bowl and then transfer to the cookies sheet. Use your fingers to flatten out the cookie slightly. Bake for 11-13 minutes. These do not spread. Do NOT over bake!

Notes

If you don't have caster sugar, you can make your own by running regular sugar through your mini food processor to make the texture finer. You can also skip the step and just use straight up granulated sugar. The recipe will still be delicious!
