Serves: 18 cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 2½ cups almond flour (finely ground, not almond meal)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 2 egg whites, at room temperature
  • ½ tsp. almond extract
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • Rolo Candies
  • Powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk well to ensure there are no lumps in the almond flour.
  3. Using a stand mixer or a large bowl and a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. If you're having a hard time getting them to stabilize, add a teaspoon of sugar to the egg whites.
  4. Add the almond extract and vanilla extract to the almond flour mixture, then add the egg whites. Mix to combine. The dough will be sticky and able to be pressed into a ball.
  5. Unwrap your Rolo candies and form the dough around the candy. Roll the cookies in a shallow plate or bowl of powdered sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown and the tops begin to crack.
  7. Allow to cool and enjoy!
