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, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold the egg whites into the almond flour mixture, then add the almond extract, vanilla extract, and orange zest.
Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Dust the cookies with additional powdered sugar and bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
