These amaretti cookies are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Made with unblanched almond flour, these simple cookies are a perfect treat any time of the year.
Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 25 min | Total Time: 35 min | Servings: 16 cookies
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups unblanched almond flour

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Set it aside.
- In another large bowl, beat the egg whites until they’re foamy. Add lemon juice and almond extract, and keep beating until the mixture forms medium-stiff peaks.
- Gently stir in the dry ingredients until everything is well mixed.
- Take scoops of the dough and shape them into small 1-inch balls.
