Amaretti 🇮🇹 Alle Nocciole - Hazelnut Amaretti ❤️ Food is my Love Language

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Toast hazelnuts in the oven until fragrant, about 10 minutes, then let cool.

Grind the cooled hazelnuts into a fine meal using a food processor.

In a mixing bowl, combine hazelnut meal, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form.

Gently fold the egg whites into the dry ingredients until just combined.

Add vanilla extract and mix until the batter is smooth.

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet.

Dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are cracked.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.

Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
