Ingredients
- 2 large egg whites
- zest of ½ orange or lemon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon almond flavoring
- ¾ cup powdered/icing sugar
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
EXTRAS
- ⅓-½ cup powdered/icing sugar (divided)
Instructions
- In the mixer add the egg whites, zest, vanilla, almond flavoring and combine, then add the sugar, flour, salt and baking powder, combine with either a wooden spoon or beat with flat beaters on low speed until a soft and compact dough forms.
- Move the dough to a clean bowl, cover in plastic and refrigerate for 12-24 hours or up to 3 days.
- Pre-heat oven to 325F (160F). Line 1-2 cookies sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the fridge, place the dough on a flat surface that has been liberally sprinkled with powdered sugar (extras) roll the dough to form an approximate 21 inch (55 cm) log, cut into ½ inch (1.2 cm) slices, and shape into an oval, place them on the prepared cookie sheets. Dust the slices well with the remaining powdered sugar. While the oven is pre-heating, allow the cookies to sit at room temperature for 10 – 15 minutes on the cookie sheets to dry out a bit before baking them.
- Bake for approximately 15-18 minutes. Gently and carefully with a spatula remove the cookies immediately to a wire rack to cool completely. They will be soft at first but when cooled will become the perfect chewy consistency. Enjoy!
Notes
- The cookies are done when the edges are light golden brown and they start to crack on top.
- These cookies will keep well in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
- The completely cooled cookies can be frozen in a freezer safe container. They will keep for up to 2 months in the freezer.
