Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar using a mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg whites and vanilla extract until everything is well blended.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until combined.
  6. Fold in the toasted sliced almonds carefully to keep them intact.
Baking
  1. Using a teaspoon, drop small amounts of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
  3. After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Once they’re cool, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
