Italian Almond Cookies
These 5-ingredient Italian almond cookies are gluten and grain free, light, fluffy, and perfectly sweetened. With a delicate almond flavour, they’re so simple, yet they taste phenomenal! They turn out crisp along the edges while the outside remains soft and the inside remains slightly chewy with the perfect crumb
PS you can use a sugar substitute like @swervesweetie BUT this time around I used regular organic cane sugar bc my Italian relatives would be rolling in their graves lol!
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups almond flour
1 cup organic cane sugar or sugar alternative
Zest from a small orange
3 egg whites
2 tsp almond extract
Organic icing sugar to roll or Swerve icing sugar alternative
Full almond or almond slices to top
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat your oven to 350F, in a large mixing bowl, add in almond flour, sugar, zest from your orange and stir well.
2. Then add in your egg whites, almond extract and mix well, keep folding with a spatula and use your hands until all mixed together!
3. Roll the dough into small balls, then roll into icing sugar, place all of the cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet and top with an almond in the centre or almonds slices.
4. Bake for 17 minutes, let cool and devour!
