Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine almond flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

3. Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the almond and vanilla extracts while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.

5. Shape Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly and top each with a few sliced almonds.

6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set.

7. Cool and Dust: Allow the treats to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with additional powdered sugar if desired.

8. Serve: Enjoy these delightful almond treats with a cup of tea or coffee!
