Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 225&# 194;°F (110ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the powdered sugar into the egg whites using a spatula until fully incorporated.
  4. Carefully fold in the almond flour until no white streaks remain.
  5. Pipe or spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the cookies are dry to the touch and lightly golden.
  7. Turn off the oven and leave the cookies inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool completely.
