"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 large egg whites
2-1/4 cups almond flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
Directions:
Directions:
1. Place the egg whites in a large bowl, and let them stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, sugar and salt.
3. Beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Then, beat on high until soft peaks form.
4. Beat in the almond and vanilla extracts. Make sure to beat for only a little bit longer to avoid collapsing the egg whites.
5. Fold the beaten egg whites into the flour mixture until just moistened. The dough will be grainy and sticky. Again, don’t overmix!
6. Scoop level tablespoons of cookie dough, and drop each into a bowl of confectioners’ sugar. Roll into a ball, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, about 1 inch apart.
7. Bake until lightly brown and tops crack, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Gluten-Free. Make sure you beat the egg whites until soft peaks are formed well (too soft and cookies will flatten while baking).
