Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup egg whites
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Zest of one orange
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 2 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

3. 3. Gently fold in the orange zest and honey until well combined.

4. 4. In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour and baking powder. Carefully fold this dry mixture into the egg white mixture until a sticky dough forms.

5. 5. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges.

6. 6. Allow the cookies to cool completely. Once cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

To ensure the best results, avoid overbeating the egg whites, which can lead to a dry and crumbly texture. Additionally, make sure to use room temperature ingredients and sift the almond flour to prevent any clumps. Finally, be patient and let the cookies cool completely before dusting them with powdered sugar for a flawless finish.
