Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 2 egg whites
  • 3/4 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 2 3/4 cups sliced almonds

Instruction

  • Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Spray the paper lightly with oil. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
  • Mix the egg whites, flavorings and sugar in a bowl
  • Add the almonds and mix. Make sure to coat the nuts entirely with the egg mixture - this is what ensures that the cookie holds together
  • Drop by the heaping tablespoonful onto the lined baking sheet. Flatten so that there is almost a single layer of nuts
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, the cookies must be browned a bit on the bottom or they will not cool/crisp properly
  • Slide the baked cookies onto a cooling rack. They are fragile, be careful! Cool completely. They can be stored in a covered container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
