Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting, optional
  • Variations
  • Chocolate Chip Amaretti: Add 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips to the dough for a chocolatey twist.
  • Citrus Amaretti: Incorporate the zest of 1 lemon or orange for a refreshing citrus flavor.
  • Nut-Free Version: Substitute almond flour with finely ground oat flour for a nut-free alternative.

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.
  • Prepare the Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites using an electric mixer or a whisk until they form stiff peaks. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  • Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the egg whites into the dry mixture. Add the almond and vanilla extracts. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites; you want to keep the mixture airy.
  • Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or your hands, form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one as they will spread.
  • Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar before baking.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and cracked.
  • Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
