Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour and granulated sugar. Set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they are foamy and reach soft peaks. Add the almond extract at this stage 9if using) and mix until combined.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites using a spatula. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Wet your hands with water to prevent the dough from sticking. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Dip each ball into the powdered sugar, coating it thoroughly.
- Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cookies have puffed up and the tops are slightly cracked.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Don’t Skip Beating the Egg Whites: Properly beaten egg whites are key to achieving the cookies’ signature chewy texture.
- Don’t Overbake: These cookies should be slightly underbaked to maintain their chewy center. Remove them from the oven as soon as the tops crack.
