Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar, matcha powder, and salt. Set aside.
3
Wipe a medium bowl down with white vinegar, then add the egg whites.
4
With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then add the almond extract.
5
Continue beating until stiff peaks form (the peaks will stand up but droop over, as shown above). Do not over-beat!
6
Fold all of the egg whites into the dry ingredients until fully combined. No need to be that gentle.
7
Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough.
8
Roll each cookie dough ball in the powdered sugar, then place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
9
Bake the amaretti cookies for about 22-25 minutes.
10
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Sift Matcha Powder Thoroughly 🍵Sift your matcha powder at least twice before folding into egg whites to eliminate lumps and ensure a smooth, even green color throughout the cookies without bitter matcha clusters.
- Room Temperature Egg Whites Are Essential 🥚Use egg whites at room temperature for 30 minutes before whipping—they'll reach stiff peaks much faster and create the airy, meringue-like base that gives these cookies their signature chewy texture.
- Master the Fold Technique ✨Gently fold dry ingredients into whipped egg whites using a rubber spatula with a J-stroke motion to maintain air bubbles; overmixing deflates the batter and results in dense, cake-like cookies instead of chewy ones.
- Double-Coat in Powdered Sugar ❄️Roll each cookie in powdered sugar twice—once immediately after scooping and again halfway through baking after 8 minutes—to create the beautiful crackled exterior and stark white contrast against the matcha green interior.
- Underbake Slightly for Optimal Texture 🎯Remove cookies when the edges are set but the centers still jiggle slightly (around 12-14 minutes)—they'll continue cooking from residual heat and develop that perfect chewy, slightly sticky interior that defines authentic amaretti.
