Delicious Chewy Almond Cookies

These Greek almond cookies are made from ground almonds, sugar, and egg whites, creating a soft and chewy texture. The recipe yields about 24 cookies and takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare and bake.

Ingredients

2 cups almond flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sliced almonds for topping
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, granulated sugar, salt, egg whites, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir until a dough forms.
Shape the Cookies: Using your hands, form small balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Flatten each ball slightly and press a sliced almond on top.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
