Amaretti Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond meal
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 egg whites
• 1/4 tsp almond extract
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix together almond meal, sugar, egg whites, almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
3. Shape the dough into small balls and space them out on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and firm to the touch. Allow to cool on the baking sheet before dusting with powdered sugar.

Verdict

Amaretti cookies are crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and have a sweet and nutty flavor. They are perfect for a light snack or as an after-dinner treat. Dusting the cookies with powdered sugar adds a nice touch of sweetness and makes them look even more appetizing.

Serving Suggestions
