Main ingredients

2 cups finely ground almond flour Look for blanched almond flour for a lighter texture.
1 cup granulated sugar You can substitute with coconut sugar for a deeper flavor.
3 large egg whites Ensure they are at room temperature for better volume when beaten.
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Avoid imitation vanilla for the best flavor.
1/4 teaspoon salt To balance the sweetness and enhance flavors.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add in the sugar while continuing to beat. Increase the speed to high, and beat until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Gently fold in the almond flour, vanilla extract, and salt using a silicone spatula.
Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to drop mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Baking

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer.
