Ingredients
- 2 cups (200 g) almond flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
- Stir together the almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Add the almond extract and gently fold into the egg whites.
- Fold the egg white mixture into the almond flour mixture until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
- Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough and roll into balls between your palms. Then roll each in confectioners’ sugar, coating well.
- Place the cookies on the prepared pans, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake one pan at a time for about 22 to 25 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and the tops are cracked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them directly to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- To store: Place the cooled cookies in an airtight container with parchment paper between the layers to keep them from sticking together. They’ll keep at room temperature for up to 5 days.
