These light and fragrant almond-orange cookies bring together the rich nuttiness of almonds and the refreshing citrus aroma of oranges. Naturally sweetened with honey, they are a simple yet delightful treatβperfect with a cup of tea or coffee!
Ingredients
- 100 g almonds (finely ground)
- 3 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
Procedure
- Prepare the dough: In a bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Gently fold in the ground almonds, honey, and orange zest, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
- Shape the cookies: Using a spoon, drop small portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Shape them into rounds for even baking.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 180Β°C and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn a light golden brown.
- Cool & serve: Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. Garnish with a thin slice of orange for extra freshness.
Final Tip
For added texture and crunch, sprinkle slivered almonds on top before baking. These cookies pair wonderfully with a cup of green tea or spiced chai!
Enjoy! π₯
