Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking sheet, line with parchment paper, or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use a hand mixer instead of stand mixer. Using a stand mixer makes the batter too runny.
Step 3
In a medium bowl beat the egg whites until frothy and opague white.
Step 4
Break up almond paste in smaller chunks and add to the beaten egg whites with sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined. Mix in the almond flour.
Step 5
For best results, cover the dough and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Use a small cookie scoop to portion out 1 inch balls, placing on prepared baking sheets about 1-2 inches apart. Dust balls with powdered sugar. If desired, gently press 2-3 almonds into the tops of the cookies.
Step 7
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until edges and bottoms start to brown. Cool on cookie sheets for 10 minutes before transporting to a wire rack to cool completely.
