Cookies, Almond Cloud

https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/almond-cloud-cookies-recipe

INGREDIENTS

• one batch DIY Almond Paste, prepared*
• 1 cup (198g) granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon table salt
• ½ cup (48g) King Arthur Almond Flour
• 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon almond extract, (gluten-free, if necessary)
• confectioners' sugar, for dusting

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease two baking sheets, or line with parchment.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, blend the almond paste, sugar, salt, and almond flour until the mixture is uniformly crumbly. Add the egg whites one at a time, mixing to make a smooth paste. Stir in the almond extract.

3. Scoop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared pans; a level tablespoon cookie scoop works well here. You should have about 24 cookies.

4. Dust the cookies generously with confectioners’ sugar.
