👨‍🍳 Instruktioner

1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour and granulated sugar until well combined and no lumps remain. This ensures an even texture in the final cookies.
⏱️ 3 minutes
2
Add the room temperature egg whites and almond extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until a thick, cohesive dough forms. It should be sticky but hold its shape.
⏱️ 5 minutes
3
Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. Place a generous amount of powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Take about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time, roll it between your palms to form a ball (about 1 inch in diameter), and then roll each ball in the powdered sugar to coat evenly. Place the coated balls about 1.5 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
⏱️ 10 minutes
4
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake the amaretti for 15-20 minutes, or until the cookies have spread slightly, the tops have cracked, and the edges are a beautiful golden brown. The exact time will depend on your oven and the size of your cookies. They should feel firm to the touch.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes
5
Let the amaretti cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows them to set properly.
⏱️ 5 minutes

💡 Proffstips

✓For a crispier cookie, bake for the full 20 minutes. For a chewier center, reduce baking time slightly.
✓The distinct flavor comes from using bitter almonds or apricot kernels. Regular almonds will yield a milder almond flavor.
✓Naturally gluten-free, making them suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
✓Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for better incorporation into the dough.
