Amaretti

Amaretti are traditional Italian almond cookies that are crisp on the outside and chewy inside. They are perfect for dessert or as a sweet snack.

Ingredients - Serves 24

Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour and granulated sugar.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold the egg whites and almond extract into the almond flour mixture until well combined.
Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
