Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 200 g almond flour
- 50 g sugar
- 3 teaspoon fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites and sugar until slightly foamy.
- Add the almond flour, orange zest and juice into the bowl and mix until completely combined into a smooth dough.
- Use your hands or an ice cream scoop to form small even balls. The mixture should be sticky but fairly firm, and the dough balls should hold their shape when placed on the baking tray. If the dough is very sticky, dust your hands in powdered sugar, then form the cookie dough balls.
- Place the cookie balls on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
- Use your thumb or a teaspoon to slowly press an indent into the cookie. Spoon a little orange marmalade into each cookie, filling each indent to the brim.
- Transfer the cookies to the refrigerator and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 175°C/356°F and arrange the baking tray onto the middle shelf of the oven.
- Transfer the cookies to the oven and bake them for 12 minutes. The cookies should have a slightly crispy surface, and should still feel quite soft when removed from the oven.
- Transfer the Italian orange cookies to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely, then sprinkle them with powered sugar and serve.
Notes
- Please note that I use grams for all my baking recipes because they offer consistent results, however US cups measurement are provided.
- You can substitute almond flour with blanched almonds. Simply place them in a powerful food processor and blitz until very finely ground.
- I tested the recipe both with almond meal (ground unpeeled almonds) and almond flour (ground peeled almonds), the result is exactly the same.
- You can form the cookies with a small ice cream scoop. This will help you make evenly-sized cookies.
- If the dough is very sticky, dust your hands in powdered sugar before forming the cookie balls.
- Let them cool completely on a cooling rack for the perfect crunchy and chewy texture.
