Description
Delicious almond flour cookies with a hint of orange zest.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups almond flour
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar (+ 3 tablespoons for coating the cookies)
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 orange (the grated zest)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper so the cookies don’t stick. In a bowl, combine 3 cups almond flour, ⅔ cup powdered sugar, 1 large egg white, 1 tablespoon honey, and the grated zest of 1 orange.
- Mix the Dough: Stir with a spoon, then use your hand to gently squeeze and pinch the mixture. It will look dry at first—this is normal! Keep squeezing until it comes together into one ball. If it still won’t stick after about a minute, add a tiny bit more egg white.
- Shape: Sprinkle 3 tablespoons powdered sugar onto a plate. Break off pieces of dough and roll them into small balls (you should get 15 balls—about 1 ounce or 30 g each). Roll each ball in the powdered sugar.
- Press and Bake: Place balls on the baking sheet, then gently press your thumb into the center so the edges crack a little. Bake at 340°F (170°C) for 12 minutes. The cookies should stay pale and soft and will not spread. Let them cool before eating—this helps them set and taste their best.
Notes
- The dough may seem dry initially, but it will come together.
- Make sure to use parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
- Cookies will have a soft texture when baked correctly.
