Preparation Steps
- Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Preheat your oven to 180 Degrees C (360 F).
- Add almond flour and caster sugar to a medium-size bowl, and stir to combine.
- In a small bowl or cup, dissolve the coffee powder in the boiling water and set it aside to cool.
- Lightly whisk the egg whites until they are frothy.
- Add the cooled coffee, whisked egg whites and vanilla extract to the almond flour and caster sugar. Stir well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Using a teaspoon, roll into small balls about 3 cm (1.25 inch) in diameter.
- Toss the balls in the flaked almonds, and place them on the prepared trays, leaving a small amount of room between the balls for the heat to circulate.
- Press down gently with your fingertips to slightly flatten the cookies.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and place on cooling racks.
Notes
Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them chewy and fresh.
