Bitter Almond Cookie
Bitter almond cookies bake into chewy cracked rounds with almond meal, egg whites, sugar, and whole almonds, balancing fragrant nuttiness with crisp edges. They are best served with tea when the centers are still pleasantly soft.
π Recipe adapted from Wikidata (Dish)
Whisk egg whites until foamy, then fold in almond meal, sugar, bitter almond extract, and lemon zest.
Chill the sticky dough until it can be portioned cleanly.
Roll small rounds in powdered sugar and press a blanched almond into each top.
Bake until cracked, lightly golden, and still chewy in the center.
Cool on the tray so the cookies set without drying out.
