Amaretti Cookies Recipe with 4 ingredients | Egg & Eggless - I would consider this a glueten free cookies as it only has almond flour as the flour ingredient. I usually not a fan of gluten free desserts but this one, seems to be pretty amazingly delicious. It’s not quite appealing just by the look of it, but the feeling of my first bite was heavenly. I offered my dad a box and he said, just a couple will be fine. He said he won’t be able to finish a box. He brought home and tasted it, he actually called me to ask if I’ve more. I was so delighted. This will be some cookies I can use as a gift for the coming Thanksgiving or Christmas occasions. You’ll only need 4 main ingredients, almond extract is optional if you don’t like too heavy almond flavour. And the eggless version, you’ll need 2 additional ingredients which are baking powder and cream of tartar. I hope you’re inspired to give this a try.

Ingredients:
• Amaretti Cookies (egg version)
200g [2 cups] almond flour
150g [¾ cup] caster sugar
2 egg whites
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp almond extract (optional)
Extra:
Caster sugar (coating)
Powdered sugar (coating & dusting)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven at 175°C/348°F.
2. Sift the almond flour and sugar, and set aside.
3. Mix the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks formed.
4. Add the almond flour mixture into the egg whites in three batches. Fold to combine. The mixture will come together like a wet dough at the end.
5. With a cookie scoop, scoop onto your palm and roll it into a ball shape. Drop it into a bowl of sugar, roll the ball in the sugar and roll it in your palm again into a ball. Then drop the ball into the bowl of powdered sugar. Roll it to coat around the ball. Place it on a flat pan.
6. Press down the dough with your fingers about 1.5 cm height. It’s fine with the cracks around it. That will give the cookie a beautiful look when it comes out of the oven.
7. Bake in preheated oven at 175°C/348°F for 20-25 minutes, depending how brown you want the cookies to be.
8. Let the cookies rest on the pan for cooling.
