Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F (165°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 the 0.25 cup sliced almonds to coat.

  4. Step 4

    Place balls 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet. Bake until golden and cracked on top, about 15-18 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
