Grandma’s Italian Almond Macaroons

Grandma’s Italian Almond Macaroons


Grandma’s Italian Almond Macaroons

These traditional Italian Almond Macaroons are chewy, fragrant, and incredibly simple to make. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea, they’re a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients (Makes about 20 cookies):

  • 2 cups (200g) almond flour or finely ground blanched almonds
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour and sugar. Mix well.

  3. Whip Egg Whites:

    • In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form soft peaks.

  4. Combine the Mixtures:

    • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the almond flour mixture. Add the almond and vanilla extracts and mix until a sticky dough forms.

  5. Shape the Cookies:

    • Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  6. Dust with Sugar:

    • Lightly dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar.

  7. Bake:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden on the edges but still soft in the center.

  8. Cool and Serve:

    • Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a plate or container. Serve with coffee or tea for a classic Italian experience.

Tips and Variations:

  • Chewier Cookies: Let the dough sit for 10-15 minutes before baking for extra chewiness.
  • Flavor Twist: Add a bit of lemon zest or orange zest for a citrusy touch.
  • Decoration: Press a whole almond into the center of each cookie before baking for a decorative touch.
