Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff with an electric whisk or by hand.
Add the icing sugar gradually and continue mixing until you have a thick, glossy meringue-like consistency.
Add the almond flour and orange zest. Gently mix until the ingredients are incorporated.
Add the baking powder and continue mixing until you have a smooth dough.
Form the dough into balls of the desired size and roll them lightly between your hands to give them a cylindrical shape with fine points.
Roll the dough balls in icing sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between the cookies as they will expand during baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the tray before transferring to a serving plate.
Dust the cookies with additional icing sugar if desired before serving.
