Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
Step 3
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in the 0.25 cup sliced almonds to coat.
Step 4
Place balls 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet. Bake until golden and cracked on top, about 15-18 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
