Ingredients

• 2 egg whites
• ⅔ cup sugar
• ⅛ tsp. of salt
• 1 tsp. almond extract
• 2 cups sliced almonds

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Make sure that the sheet is well coated.
• Pulse the sliced almonds in the bowl of a food processor to chop them to small pieces. Don’t puree them into powder; just pulse several times until they are chopped small.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer beat egg whites on high until stiff peaks form.
• While mixer is running on high slowly pour in sugar, salt and then almond extract.
• Turn the mixer off and fold in the almonds with a rubber spatula.
• Drop the batter unto the cookie sheet by teaspoons. I like to drop a teaspoon of dough and then on top of that drop another half or so. This makes nice domed cookies.
• TURN THE OVEN OFF!!!
• Place the sheet of cookies in the hot oven and leave them at least two hours and up to overnight.
• Carefully remove the cookies from the sheet and store in a single layer in an airtight container. Please note that the cookies are fragile and should be handled gently.
