How to Make Amaretti

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, powdered sugar, and almond extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the egg whites into the almond flour mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, enjoy your delicious homemade Amaretti cookies! Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for later.
