Ingredients

  • Almond Flour: Made from finely ground almonds, almond flour gives these cookies a rich, nutty flavor and a tender texture. It's naturally gluten-free and adds a boost of protein and healthy fats, making it a great alternative to regular flour. Apparently you can make your own almond flour at home using this almond flour recipe as a guide.
  • Powdered Sugar: Powdered sugar, also known as confectioners’ sugar, is a finely ground sugar mixed with a bit of cornstarch to prevent clumping. It dissolves easily, giving the cookies a smooth, sweet flavor and helping to create a light, delicate texture.
  • Egg White: The egg white acts as a binding agent in these cookies, holding the almond flour and powdered sugar together. It also helps give the cookies a slight crispness on the outside while keeping them soft and chewy on the inside.

How to make 3 ingredients almond flour cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 375F and line a cookies sheet with a parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the almond flour and powdered sugar. Mix well until no lumps remain.
  • Separate the egg white from the yolk and add the egg white to the almond flour mixture. Mix and knead the dough until everything is well combined.
  • Shape the dough into cookies in whatever shape you prefer.Pierce each cookie with a fork.
  • Brush the tops of the cookies with the reserved egg yolk.
  • Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes.
  • Once baked, let the cookies cool slightly, then sprinkle them with powdered sugar before serving.

Helpful tips

  • Use Fresh Almond Flour: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh almond flour. If possible, make your own at home to ensure it's as fresh as possible.
  • Avoid Over-Mixing: When combining the ingredients, mix just until everything is combined. Over-mixing can cause the cookies to become too dense.
  • Chill the Dough: If the dough feels too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before shaping the cookies. This will make it easier to work with.
  • Watch the Baking Time: Almond cookies can go from perfectly baked to overdone quickly. Start checking them at the 8-minute mark to ensure they don’t burn.
  • Cool on the Baking Sheet: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This helps them set and makes them easier to handle.
  • Customize Your Cookies: For added flavor, consider adding a drop of vanilla or almond extract to the dough. You can also sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or drizzle melted chocolate on top after baking.
  • Store Properly: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for about a week, but you can also freeze them for longer storage.

Variations

  • Chocolate-Dipped Almond Cookies: After baking and cooling the cookies, dip one half of each cookie in melted dark or milk chocolate. Let the chocolate set before serving.
  • Almond and Raspberry Jam: Press a small dollop of raspberry jam into the center of each cookie before baking. The jam will create a sweet, fruity center.
  • Lemon Almond Cookies: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest and a tablespoon of lemon juice to the dough for a fresh, citrusy twist.
