Are you a fan of Italian desserts? If so, you must try making Ricciarelli, a traditional Italian almond cookie that will melt in your mouth. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of making these delectable treats right in your own kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 250g almond flour
  • 250g powdered sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. This may take a few minutes, so be patient.

3. Gently fold the egg whites into the almond flour mixture until fully incorporated. The resulting dough should be soft and pliable.

4. Add the almond and vanilla extracts to the dough and mix well.

5. Transfer the dough onto a clean surface and shape it into a rectangle. Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Chilling the dough helps it firm up and makes it easier to handle.

6. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

7. Unwrap the dough and cut it into small equal pieces. Traditionally, Ricciarelli cookies are diamond-shaped, but you can shape them into any form you like.

8. Roll each piece into a small ball and flatten it slightly with your fingers. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them.

9. Bake the cookies for about 15-18 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remember, Ricciarelli cookies should remain soft on the inside.

10. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.

11. Once cooled, generously dust the cookies with powdered sugar. This adds a touch of sweetness and creates a beautiful presentation.

12. Your homemade Ricciarelli cookies are now ready to be devoured. Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea for the ultimate Italian treat!

With this simple recipe, you can bring the flavors of Italy right into your home. Ricciarelli cookies will surely impress your loved ones and leave them asking for more. Give them a try and let us know how they turned out!
