Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, sugar, espresso powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into the dry mixture. Add almond extract and mix until a sticky dough forms. Scoop out heaping teaspoonfuls of dough, roll into balls, then roll in powdered sugar. Place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until edges are golden and cookies are set. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Personal Notes:
Crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside-these almond cookies are delicately infused with espresso and baked with love, just like Nana used to make.🧡
