Matcha Amaretti Cookies
These soft Italian cookies are flavored with matcha powder and rolled in powdered sugar, giving them a beautiful stark contrast in color. The sweet almond and earthy matcha flavors are an unlikely flavor combination you didn't know you needed! They also have a chewy & slightly sticky texture similar to that of a macaron shell's interior. With just a handful of ingredients, you can whip these matcha crinkle cookies up in less than an hour!
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar, matcha powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Step 3
Wipe a medium bowl down with white vinegar, then add the egg whites.
- Step 4
With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then add the almond extract.
- Step 5
Continue beating until stiff peaks form (the peaks will stand up but droop over, as shown above). Do not over-beat!
- Step 6
Fold all of the egg whites into the dry ingredients until fully combined. No need to be that gentle.
- Step 7
Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough.
- Step 8
Roll each cookie dough ball in the powdered sugar, then place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
- Step 9
Bake the amaretti cookies for about 22-25 minutes.
- Step 10
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy!
