Gingerbread Amaretti

5 / 5 (5 reviews)

With a soft and chewy marzipan-like texture, infused with molasses and gingerbread spices, these gingerbread amaretti would make a fabulous addition to your holiday cookie boxes. Even better, they're made with almond flour so they are naturally gluten-free!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Stack two matching, heavyweight, light to medium colored cookie sheets one inside the other (stacking two cookie sheets together keeps the bottoms of the cookies from getting too brown). Line with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sugar, spices and salt until evenly incorporated.

  3. In a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk egg whites and lemon juice until they hold soft peaks.

  4. Add beaten egg whites and molasses to dry ingredients and stir until mixture forms a soft, sticky dough, kneading with your hands if necessary.
