Ingredients:
1 Egg White (room temperature, leave on the counter for 30 minutes before using)
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon Icing Sugar
1 cup Almond Meal
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 cup Flaked/Sliced Almonds
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and place non-stick baking paper onto oven trays.
Prepare the Almond Cookie Dough:
Start by manually whisking the egg white until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
Sift the icing sugar, then add almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Stir the mixture until it forms a firm paste.
Divide the cookie dough into 8 equal pieces.
Flour your hands slightly to make rolling and pressing easier.
Roll the dough into small balls and gently press them to flatten to about 3 cm (or 1 1/4 inch) in diameter.
Press flaked almonds on top and lightly dust with icing sugar.
Arrange the cookies onto the baking paper-lined oven trays.
Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned.
Allow the cookies to cool on racks.
