These Amaretti cookies are soft, sweet, and perfectly flavored! They have a strong almond flavor. These unique and unforgettable cookies are so fun for the holidays. The powdered sugar coating makes them equally beautiful and delicious!

Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and sugar. Stir until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy using an electric mixer or whisk. Add in the almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the almond flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together. It will be slightly sticky.
- Place some powdered sugar in a small shallow bowl. This will be used for rolling the cookies.
- Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a 1 inch ball.
- Roll the ball in powdered sugar until fully coated. Place the coated ball on the lined baking pan. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Then, gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside and slightly soft in the center.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Lastly, serve these homemade amaretti cookies!
Notes
- Use finely blanched almond flour for the best results. I love Bob's Red Mill.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This can take up to 5 minutes.
- Almond extract gives these cookies their distinct flavor. Do not omit.
- Press down slightly on each cookie dough ball before baking. These cookies do not spread much.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze for up to 2 months.
