Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup sugar
• zest of 2 oranges
• 2 egg whites
• ½ cup almonds, coarsely chopped

Directions

• preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• in a large bowl, combine the almond flour, sugar, orange zest, and egg whites until the mixture comes together into a moist (but not really sticky) dough.
• place the chopped almonds on a plate. take tablespoon-sized balls of the dough and roll them into sort of football-like shapes. then roll them in the chopped almonds, pressing gently so that the almonds stick.
• bend the footballs into crescent shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet. bake them in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until they just start to turn a bit golden. let the cookies cool for at least a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
