Almond Horns With Powdered Sugar
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 24 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian
Description
Tender, chewy almond horns, coated in powdered sugar. A quick, family-friendly dessert perfect for any occasion, featuring almond paste and egg whites.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces / 225g Almond Paste
- 1 cup + more for dusting / 120g + more Powdered Sugar
- 2 large Large Egg Whites
- 1 teaspoon / 5ml Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup / 100g Sliced Almonds (Optional Upgrade, for rolling)
- 1/4 teaspoon / 1ml Almond Extract (Optional Upgrade)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Have a shallow bowl of sliced almonds ready.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine almond paste, powdered sugar, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer (or even by hand with a sturdy spoon) until a cohesive dough forms. It will be a bit sticky.
- Shape the Horns: Lightly flour your hands. Roll portions of dough into 3-4 inch long logs (about 1/2 inch thick). Bend each log into a crescent or horn shape.
- Coat and Bake: Gently roll each shaped almond horn in the sliced almonds (if using), pressing lightly to adhere. Place on prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between cookies. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden at the edges.
- Cool and Dust: Let the baked almond horns cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, dust generously with additional powdered sugar for that classic finish.
Notes
Shortcut Tip: If short on time, skip rolling in sliced almonds and simply bake, then dust with powdered sugar. These still make delicious almond horns!
Avoid Common Mistake: Don’t overbake! They should still be slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven, as they firm up as they cool. This ensures tender almond horns every time.
Sourcing: Check your baking aisle for quality almond paste. Fresh eggs make a difference!
