Croatian Almond Crescent Cookies, Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Cookies 
CROATIAN ALMOND CRESCENT COOKIES

Makes about 24 Cookies

Naturally Gluten Free Cookies that are crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and full of almond and orange flavor

INGREDIENTS
2 cups almond flour
1 cup sugar
zest of 2 oranges
2 egg whites
½ cup almonds, coarsely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, sugar, orange zest, and egg whites until the mixture comes together into a moist (but not really sticky) dough.

Place the chopped almonds on a plate. Take tablespoon-sized balls of the dough and roll them into football-like shapes. Then roll them in the chopped almonds, pressing gently so that the almonds stick.

Bend the "footballs" into crescent shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until they just start to turn a bit golden. Let the cookies cool for at least a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies taste even better after sitting in an airtight container for a day - it really gives the flavors and textures a chance to meld!


NOTE: Always read labels carefully
