These yuzu amaretti combine the rich flavor of almonds with the aromatic freshness of this Japanese citrus fruit. Their delicately cracked surface reveals a soft, slightly melt-in-your-mouth center. The zest adds bright, floral notes, balanced by a hint of sweetness, resulting in a cookie that is light, fragrant, and indulgent.

Ingredients

200 g extra-fine almond flour
150 g granulated sugar
2 egg whites (≈60 g), at room temperature

1 to 2 tsp. yuzu juice (adjust to taste)
50 g powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170°C (conventional heat). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the almond flour and granulated sugar. Mix in the yuzu zest by rubbing it into the sugar to release the essential oils.
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form (soft, not stiff). Add the honey just before the mixture is fully whipped.
Gently fold the egg whites into the dry mixture. Gradually add the yuzu juice.
Desired texture: a soft, slightly sticky dough that is easy to shape.
Form balls weighing 20–25 g. Roll them generously in powdered sugar.
Place them spaced apart (they spread out slightly).
13–15 minutes at 170 °C.
Cracked surface, slightly golden base, still soft inside.
Let cool on a wire rack. The texture will set in about an hour.

Recipe notes

Airtight container: 4–5 days.

Can be frozen raw (balls already coated) and cooked without thawing (+1 min).
