Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Separate the egg whites from the yolks, combine with powdered sugar, and beat with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the almond flour and essence, mixing well.
Step 2
Using a piping bag or spoon, drop the mixture onto a baking sheet in rounds about 4-5 cm in diameter. Leave 2-3 cm between the cookies to prevent them from merging.
Step 3
Sprinkle a little almond flakes on top.
Step 4
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 20 minutes.
