Easy Italian almond cookies made with 5 ingredients in an electric mixer.
Ingredients:
  • 5 very cold egg whites
  • 2.5 cups white sugar
  • 5 teaspoons almond extract
  • 4.5 cups almond meal
  • 0.25 cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed
Instructions:
  • Using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar and almond extract, beating until stiff peaks form. Switch to the paddle attachment and mix in almond meal until dough forms.
  • Wrap cookie dough snugly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight for best results.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the confectioners' sugar in a shallow bowl. Shape the cookie dough into small balls and roll them in the sugar. Place the coated dough balls on the baking sheets.
  • Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until they are light golden brown and firm.
