Almond Sugar Cookies

Prep time for this great sweet treat is only 5 minutes and the total time to make it ready and freshly baked is 55 minutes. It is a simple cookie and I am sure you›ll love to nibble on it with a fresh cup of tea or coffee.


Makes 20 Cookies

To achieve the best volume, whisk the egg whites in a single metal bowl, and set over a pot of simmering water until just warm to the touch.



What we need:

1 ¾ Cups Sliced Almonds
2 Large egg whites
1 Cup Confectioner’s sugar
½ Teaspoon Pure Almond Extract


How to make it:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and toast in oven until lightly browned and fragrant, about 7-10 minutes. Then remove from oven and let cool.
Combine the almonds and sugar. You can use brown sugar if you like, in a food processor fitted with the metal blade and grind to a fine powder. Some people might like to use pecans or walnuts. Then transfer to a medium bowl.  In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into the almond mixture. Then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into a pastry bag with a plain tip on it. Pipe 20 2-inch rings onto prepared sheet, about one inch apart. Bake until golden, brown and firm to the touch, about 25-30 minutes and then remove from the oven, immediately transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
You can prepare some green or black tea or coffee which would be a great combination with this great cookie. I wish you all my readers all the luck in the kitchen and Happy Fall.

Love, Victoria
