Delightfully light and airy Almond Cloud Cookies made with almond flour and whipped egg whites, offering a naturally gluten-free treat with a subtle almond flavor perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add vanilla extract and almond extract to impart a rich, nutty fragrance and stir until well blended.
  3. Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy texture essential for the cookie’s cloud-like quality.
  4. Fold Ingredients: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the dry mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites, until the batter is just combined.
  5. Shape Cookies: Drop tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart to allow for slight spreading. Optionally sprinkle sliced almonds on top for added texture and visual appeal.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden while the centers remain soft and tender.
  7. Cool and Dust: Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before dusting generously with powdered sugar to finish. Serve and enjoy your delicate almond cloud cookies!

Notes

  • Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for better volume when whipped.
  • Do not overmix the whipped egg whites to maintain the light, airy texture.
  • Optionally, add sliced almonds on top for extra crunch and garnish.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • These cookies are naturally gluten-free due to almond flour base.
