Ingredients
- Powdered sugar
- 1 cup
- Almond flour
- 2 cups
- Almond extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Egg whites
- 3 large
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or stand mixer until they form soft peaks.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat the egg whites, until they become glossy and hold stiff peaks.

- Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
