Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for drizzling, optional)
  • Confectioners' sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, mix the almond flour and powdered sugar.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the almond flour mixture.

Add the almond extract and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough is smooth and well combined.

Shape the Cookies

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in concentric rings to form the traditional ring shapes of Kransekage. You can also pipe small mounds for individual cookies.

Bake

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake.

Cool and Decorate

Allow the Kransekage to cool completely on a wire rack.

Optional: Drizzle with granulated sugar or dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Enjoy your meal!
