200g blanched blanched almonds

150g granulated granulated sugar

50g powdered powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

2 large egg whites

1 tablespoon orange zest

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the blanched almonds in a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
In a large bowl, combine the ground almonds, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, salt, and orange zest.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
Gently fold the egg whites into the almond mixture, along with the almond extract and vanilla extract, until a dough forms.
Shape the dough into small oval biscuits, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Dust each biscuit generously with powdered sugar.
Bake the biscuits for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Allow the biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
