Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, 1 cup sugar, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer over medium-high speed until soft peaks, about 1 1/2 minutes. Beat in the almond extract.

Step 4

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites in 3 batches with a rubber spatula.

Step 5

Pour the powdered sugar and the remaining 1/3 cup of granulated sugar into separate bowls. Shape the dough into 2-tablespoon balls. Roll them in granulated sugar, then powdered sugar.

Step 6

Place the balls 1 inch apart on the lined baking sheets. Press the cookies gently to flatten them a little with the back of a spoon. Bake for 20-23 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. The cookies will be golden brown with cracks on top.

Step 7

Let them cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
