Ingredients

200 g Ground Almonds
200 g Ground Almonds
200 g Caster Sugar 1
1 g Bicarbonate of Soda
15 g Almond Essence
1.5 g Vanilla Extract
3 Egg Whites
50 g Caster Sugar 2
50 g Icing Sugar

Method

Preheat the oven to 150℃/Gas Mark 2.
In a large bowl, combine the ground almonds, caster sugar, and bicarbonate of soda. Using a whisk, stir the dry ingredients to ensure even distribution.
Add the egg whites, almond essence & vanilla extract to the dry mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until you have a paste consistency.
Divide the mixture into 20g and, using the palm of your hands, roll these into balls.
Place the caster sugar (2) and icing sugar into separate small bowls and dip each ball into the caster sugar, then icing sugar.
Place each ball onto a lined baking tray and gently press down on the top of the ball & very slightly flatten it.
Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for around 20 mins, or until the biscuits are golden and cracked on top.
Once baked, remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack then, enjoy!
