The soft almond cookies are fragrant and delicate little bites, perfect for serving with coffee or tea.
Thanks to their simplicity and soft inside with a slightly crispy outside, they also make a beautiful gift idea for the Christmas season: just package them in a decorated box or a transparent bag with a red bow to surprise friends and family with a homemade gift.

Steps
Mix in a bowl the almond flour with the powdered sugar and the lemon zest.
Lightly whip the egg whites until they are just foamed.
Combine the egg whites with the dry mixture and mix with a spatula until you obtain a soft and moldable dough.
With slightly damp hands, form small balls the size of a walnut and roll them in powdered sugar.
Place the almond cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, well spaced.
Bake in a static oven at 340 °F for 18-20 minutes, until small cracks appear on the surface but the inside remains soft.
Allow the almond cookies to cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.
They are delicately soft and delicious!
Happy cooking and enjoy your meal! Annalisa
