Amaretti Cookies (Thrive Original)

There’s a reason amaretti cookies have stood the test of time. Crisp on the outside, soft and chewy in the center, with a rich almond flavor—they feel elegant without being complicated.

This Thrive version keeps the ingredient list simple while delivering that classic, bakery-style result. Bright lemon zest balances the sweetness, almond extract deepens the flavor, and almond flour keeps them naturally gluten-free.

Perfect for gatherings, gifting, or something special alongside your morning coffee or tea.



Ingredients
• 2 1/2 cups almond meal or almond flour
• 1 cup organic sugar
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 3 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• Extra sugar, for rolling



Directions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour and sugar. Stir in lemon zest.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form. Stir in almond extract.
4. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the almond mixture until fully combined.
5. Scoop dough using a small cookie scoop or about 1 tablespoon.
6. With slightly damp hands, roll into balls and coat lightly in sugar.
7. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 23–25 minutes, until lightly golden.
8. Cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days.

As Leo Tolstoy reminds us, “true life is lived when tiny changes occur.” In this class we’ll outline small but powerful ways to shift your thinking and help you embrace personal change as a purposeful, ongoing practice.
