Ingredients
Scale
- 2¼ cups (252 g) almond flour
- 1 cup (125 g) castor sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 egg whites
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup (85 g) strawberry preserves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. Add almond flour, sugar, salt, lemon zest, vanilla, and almond extracts. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Scoop dough onto baking sheet using a spoon or cookie scoop, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Lightly press tops and add a small dollop (about 1/4 tsp) of strawberry preserves in the center of each.
- Use a toothpick to gently swirl the preserves, if desired.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
- Cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
Notes
- Use fine almond flour for the best texture.
- Don’t overfill with preserves to avoid overflow.
- Let cookies cool fully before handling—they firm up as they cool.
- Add slivered almonds on top before baking for extra texture.
