Italian Almond Cookies (GF)


Italian Almond Cookies (GF)
(about 2 dozen)


Ingredients:

1 large Egg White
2¼ cups Almond Flour
¾ cup Sugar
1 large Fresh Lemon, zest only
½ tsp. Honey
1 tsp. Almond Extract
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
for coating, Powdered Sugar

Directions:

In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat egg white to soft peaks on medium-high speed.  In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, sugar and lemon zest.  Stir in beaten egg white, honey, almond and vanilla extracts.  Knead into a ball of dough (dough will be slightly sticky).  Roll dough into a 1-inch thick log on a almond floured surface.  Using a sharp knife, cut log at ½-inch intervals and form dough into egg-shaped cookies.  Fill a shallow bowl with powdered sugar.  Roll cookies in powdered sugar, coating all sides.  Tap off excess powdered sugar and place cookies 1-inch apart on a parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet.  Place in a pre-heated 350-degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are only slightly browned with a cracked exterior.  Do not over bake.  Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to completely cool.

Note:               Always double check your ingredients to make sure they are gluten-free.
