# Étapes de préparation:
01 -
Set your oven to 175°C. Cover a baking tray with some parchment.
02 -
Stir together almond flour, sugar, and zest in a big bowl until blended nicely.
03 -
Pour in almond extract and egg whites to the dry mix. Use a wooden spoon to stir until sticky dough takes shape. At first, it may seem crumbly, but keep mixing and it’ll come together.
04 -
Take the dough and split it into about 18 parts. Roll each one into a ball.
05 -
Add your icing sugar to a shallow dish. Roll each dough ball through the sugar until it’s fully covered. Arrange on the tray, spacing them roughly 2.5cm apart.
06 -
Press your thumb softly into the center of each dough ball to create a dip. A few cracks in the dough are fine.
07 -
Pop a maraschino cherry into the center indentation of each cookie.
08 -
Let them bake for 14-18 minutes, just until the bottoms turn a light golden. Cool them on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool fully.
