Ingredients
  

  • cups almond flour blanched, superfine
  • ¾ cup organic cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons aquafaba reduced and chilled
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ cup powdered sugar for coating

Instructions
 

  • Reduce ½ cup aquafaba in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it measures approximately 6 tablespoons (about 10-12 minutes). Chill completely.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
  • Beat chilled aquafaba with cream of tartar until soft peaks form (3-4 minutes).
  • Add aquafaba mixture, almond extract, and vanilla extract to dry ingredients. Fold gently until a sticky dough forms.
  • Cover and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll chilled dough into 1-inch balls, coat generously in powdered sugar, and place on baking sheets 2 inches apart.
  • Gently press each cookie to slightly flatten.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain slightly soft.
  • Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
