Ingredients
4 egg whites
1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 teaspoon orange blossom water or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups almond meal (blanched almond flour)
Optional garnish:
7 ounces semis-sweet or dark chocolate, melted
1 cup blanched sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 °F, 165 °C.
In a large mixing bowl whisk the egg whites on high speed until thick and stiff.
In a large mixing bowl combine the almond flour, salt, sugar, almond extract, and orange blossom water. Mix together until combined.
Fold the whipped egg whites into the almond flour mixture until a dough is formed.
Note:For a more dense, firm cookie, keep the dough very dense by adding up to 455 grams of almond flour to it. Dense cookie dough will not spread during baking. For a flatter cookie, allow the dough to be slightly looser.
Using a small ice cream scoop or 2 spoons, scoop walnut-sized pieces of dough onto baking trays lined with parchment paper.
Alternately, fill a piping bag that has been fitted with the star attachment with the batter. Do not fill more than halfway. Pipe swirls of these cookies onto baking trays that have been lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle some sliced almonds over the top of each cookie.
Bake on the center rack of the oven for 15 minutes. The cookies will be pale and slightly golden around the edges.
If baking 2 trays together, make sure to rotate the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through baking.
Allow the cookies to cool completely.
If decorating with chocolate, spread some melted chocolate on the bottom of each cookie place the cookies chocolate-side up on the baking tray until they set. You may also place them in the freezer or refrigerator for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Enjoy!

Demetra I just saw this for the first time!! I am so humbled by the mention. Whenever you're in town please visit again! Jordan from Aphrodites Sweets!!!
Sweetheart, you are awesome, for a young woman my hats off to you. You keep your culture going and show others how to make delicious Greek food which, by the way, is delicious and your instructions wonderful and easy. Good job 👏and God Bless You and Your beautiful family
Dimitri these were excellent! I work in a hospital and made these for the nurse's break room. They devoured them instantly. One nurse, she ate 8 of them! Those big gluttons!
She always makes the most thoughtful recipes and explains in a way that you don’t feel intimidated. Thank you for teaching me about a new Greek cookie!!!
These are a wonderful glutenfree recipe! Thank you so much, I've used powdered sugar in the egg whites and they become very fluffy. 😚
These traditional Greek cookies are genuinely delicious 😋 Amygdalota remains #1 in my all-time classic favourites cookie list.
Dimitra, excellent to see your recipes again...
This was such a fun one with the little sous chef helping out.
These look and sound delicious! Always looking for a new recipe to try. Thanks for the posting! 😊
I love how your gorgeous girl just pulled up her sleeves and confirmed her clean hands and was ready to help!!! Adorable ☺️
Cookies look amazing can’t wait to make them 😋☕️
These look absolutely delicious. I loved that you tempered the amount of sugar in the original recipe because you found them to be too sweet. I will make these wonderful cookies to celebrate a wonderfully Greek friend. God bless!

Γειά σου Δήμητρα. Πρώτη φορά μού βγήκε βίντεο δικό σου στο CZcams και από το όνομα σου καταλαβαίνω ότι είσαι Ελληνίδα και χαίρομαι που δείχνεις ελληνικές συνταγές. Αυτά τα αμυγδαλωτά είναι τα αγαπημένα μου και τα φτιάχνω κι εγώ. Εγώ είμαι από Θεσσαλονίκη κι εδώ τα λέμε εργολάβους. Θα κάνω εγγραφή στο κανάλι σου και θα σε ακολουθώ. Από τι κατάλαβα από τα αγγλικά πού μιλάς μάλλον είσαι Αμερική. Αν θέλεις γράψε μου. Να χαίρεσαι το κοριτσάκι σου!! 🌷🌷🌷🌷
My gram and I made these😊 You and your beautiful girl reminded me of that.
Oh wow that’s right I’m my neighborhood🎄🎄☃️☃️

Thanks so much for being here :)
God bless you God bless your family I love this cookie I’m going to make it today thank you thank you stay safe and healthy I love your videos 😍👏✝️🙏🥇🥰🥬💐🥝🍍🍍🥭🍒🥦🥑
Thank you very much!! May God bless you and your family as well :)
Demetra hi! Nice recipe! Would also like lasagna recipe if possible!
Noted!
Thank you for this! Would substituting agave for white sugar work, or it's too liquid?
Omg this can be totally keto if replacing sugar with keto alternative! I am sorry but what did you say about the temperature? You said something about 350?
350 F 165 C
She said to reduce to 320 not to burn them, also I was thinking the same. I will use Monk fruit and some cinnamon that would make low carb keto
350 down to 325.
Hello, love your cookies, can I freeze them for later time, Thank You Fatima
I just made these cookies and they are delicious. I used your recipe exactly how it was written but my do seemed a little thicker and difficult the pipe. Any suggestions. My piping tip is 6 B
Love your channel!!! I see Kriti on your fridge…are you my peeps? 😉
Haha! Yes, I’m from Crete 💙
@@DimitrasDishes Nice!! My mother was from Iraklio. I just watched your video on kalitsounia. I’m in NY (Bayside that’s a town over Whitestone were your sister lives) I find mizithra-made in Canada 🤷🏻♀️ but obviously it doesn’t have the aroma of mizithra from Kriti.
ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ ΑΝΕΣΤΗ ΧΡΟΝΙΑ ΠΟΛΛΑ
Christ is Risen!
Your recipes are great, Dimitra!
I was looking for a recipe for Amygdalota. I found it in your recipes and I'm so happy.
Please, can you tell me how many grams means 1 cup of granulated sugar? And also 4 cups of almond flour (bleached almond flour)?
Thank you very much for your answer and all your wonderful recipes!
200 grams sugar
384 grams of flour ❤
@@tracycrider7778, thank you!
I’ve made these twice and they are super delicious! Everybody loved them, and now they all want them for Christmas. I have a question though, because on the video you add the sugar to the egg whites, but the written copy says to mix the sugar with the flour and I’m not sure which is correct. When I tried the written recipe, I couldn’t pipe them because it was too thick. Thank you!
Sugar with the whites❤
Do u have a cookbook please ❤️
Can the sugar be substituted with stevia? And would it be as stiff as the regular sugar?
How long will they keep in an airtight container ? 😊
do you have to use parchment paper?
Dimitra mou have u ever made tashinopita if so r they hard to make ❤️🙏
I tried making it this morning but the inside turned out to be doughy! Do I need to add baking powder?
Not sure if you're still getting notifs on comments here but my cookies came out very dense, did I do something wrong? Thanks for any help!
You probably did not whisk egg whites until stiff peaks that’s what makes them light hope it helps
How long do they keep once you make them x
They stay fresh for about a week but, nothing lasts that long in this house...lol!
@@DimitrasDishes thank u my house is the same 🤣🤣
How do you blanch almond flour?
It's sold that way :)
Hi Demetra,
Approx how many cookies can u get in the recipe.
If youre allergic to almond, what would you recommend substituting with?
Cashew or pecan would be good
@@tracycrider7778 cashew. I'm allergic to pecan too. Thank you
@@DayDay0622 bless your heart ❤️ that would drive me crazy
Did you try these at a bakery in NY? If so share the name !
Aphrodite ok got it!
Christos anesti
Not sure why but I found it very hard to pipe them out the mixture was really thick, help Dimitra!
You can add an extra egg white if that happens next time :)
@@DimitrasDishes Thank u so much x
Greek translations????
