Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, stir together 1.5 cups almond flour, 0.75 cup sugar, 2 egg whites, and 0.5 teaspoon almond extract until a sticky dough forms.

  3. Step 3

    Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in 0.5 cup sliced almonds to coat, then place on prepared sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.

  4. Step 4

    Bake until golden and set, about 12-15 minutes. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  5. Step 5

    Optional: drizzle with melted chocolate or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
