Soft and chewy almond cookies flavored with cake batter extract with colorful confetti quin sprinkles throughout.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups almond flour sifted, or very finely ground almonds
- ⅞ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg white
- ¼ teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ teaspoon cake flavoring optional, increase almond to 1/2 teaspoon if omitted, batter flavoring
- ¼ cup quin sprinkles confetti
- confectioners’ sugar as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Stack two matching, heavyweight, light to medium colored cookie sheets one inside the other (stacking two cookie sheets together keeps the bottoms of the cookies from getting too brown). Line with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sugar and salt until evenly incorporated.
- In a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk egg whites and lemon juice until they hold soft peaks.
- Add beaten egg whites, almond extract, and cake batter flavoring to dry ingredients and stir until mixture forms a soft, sticky dough, kneading with your hands if necessary. Stir in sprinkles until evenly distributed.
- Lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar. Use a small cookie scoop to portion dough into 1-inch balls. Roll into a smooth ball, then roll in powdered sugar. Arrange on parchment or silicon-lined baking sheets, leaving 1 inch of space between cookies.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until tops are cracked and bottoms are just barely golden (if you are NOT using doubled cookie sheets your cookies will brown much quicker, and will likely need less time, so watch them closely). If you prefer crunchier cookies you can give them an extra 5 minutes or so or until the tops begin to brown too. Remove from oven; let cool a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Cookies will keep at room temperature in an airtight bag or container, for up to 5 days.
