Preheat the oven to 350°F. Measure and prep all ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and powdered sugar. Gently mix to combine.
Add in the egg whites and mix them together to form a thick paste. Halfway into mixing, add the cooled espresso and the vanilla (or almond) extract. (See notes 1.)
Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a large plain tip. On a sheet pan lined with a silicone mat, pipe small round dollops of batter, about 1½ inches wide. Top each dollop with one almond in the center.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown. Cool completely before transferring the cookies into an airtight container for up to two weeks. Serve and enjoy! (See notes 2.)
Notes:
- For fluffier cookies, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks and incorporate them into the almond paste (similar to making macarons).
- The texture of the cookie should be chewy through the center, similar to a frangipane in a cookie format.
