INGREDIENTS

• 110g almond flour, sifted twice
• 10g castor sugar
• 60g icing sugar, sifted twice
• 30g egg white
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 18 whole almonds, for garnishing

METHOD

01. In a clean, grease-free mixing bowl, whisk egg white till frothy.  Add castor sugar, and whisk fast to beat mixture till stiff peaks form.
02. Add vanilla extract, stir gently to combine.
03. Pour in sifted icing sugar and almond flour, fold in gently with a spatula.  Stop once flour and icing sugar are incorporated.

05. Place an almond on top of each cookie and push it into the dough slightly.
06. Bake in a preheated oven (180C/350F) for 10 minutes.
07. Cool completely before storing in airtight containers.
