Ingredients

  • 162 g (1 ⅔ cups) almond flour
  • 150 g (¾ cup) granulated sugar
  • 6 g (1 tablespoon) unsweetened matcha powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 52 g egg whites, about 1 ½ egg whites
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 30 g (¼ cup) powdered sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar, matcha powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Wipe a medium bowl down with white vinegar, then add the egg whites.*
  • With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then add the almond extract.
  • Continue beating until stiff peaks form (the peaks will stand up but droop over, as shown above). Do not over-beat!
  • Fold all of the egg whites into the dry ingredients until fully combined. No need to be that gentle.
  • Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough.
  • Roll each cookie dough ball in the powdered sugar, then place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake the amaretti cookies for about 22-25 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy!

Notes

  • Wiping the bowl with vinegar will ensure it is extremely clean and nothing will hinder the egg whites from whipping properly.
  • Store these cookies in an air-tight container at room temperature for about 5 days.
