Almond-Orange Cookies – A Zesty and Nutty Treat

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 treatβ€”perfect with a cup of tea or coffee!


Ingredients

  • 100 g almonds (finely ground)
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest

Procedure

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Bake: Preheat the oven to 180Β°C and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn a light golden brown.
  4. 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! πŸ₯
