Add first 4 ingredients to a bowl and combine well.

Place egg whites in a standing mixer and whip until soft peaks form. Add dry ingredients together with the almond extract into the whipped eggs and gently mix with a paddle attachment until a soft dough is formed.

Scoop the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet with a 1-tablespoon scoop, leaving room for the cookies to spread as they bake. Dust the cookies with sugar and bake at 325°F for 14 minutes.
