T hese are the best cookies in the world. No debate. They’re absolutely delicious, and are so easy to make! They’re not enormous cookies, so one batch of them easily results in 60 delightful biscuits.
Ingredients:
3 egg whites
400g powdered sugar
6 drops of Almond extract
1 pinch of salt
450g of almond flour
40-60 almonds
Steps:
Mix the three egg whites with 300 g of powdered sugar. Add the pinch of salt and the six drops of almond extract. Mix until it becomes a creamy mixture.
Add the 450g of almond flour and mix. Towards the end of the mixing process, feel free to use your hands. This is easier than using a whisk, and will help incorporate all the ingredients.
Let them cool down in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 160˚ Celsius, or 320˚ Fahrenheit.
Take out half of the batch so that the other half doesn’t warm up (makes it easier to work with later on!). Either one can spread some powdered sugar on a working surface and form small balls on that surface, or form the balls first, and then roll them in a bowl of powdered sugar. Personally, the previous one is easier because regardless of the temperature of the dough, it still tends to be quite sticky, so lathering it onto the dough while working is easier. Then, once you’ve made a small ball out of a piece of dough, press an almond in the center of it, flattening the balls a little.
Bake in the oven at the preheated temperature of 160˚C for around 20 minutes.
Finally, let them cool a little and enjoy!
