This is very easy simple cookie to make. Once you get the hang of the couple of extra steps needed, you will be making this cookie over and over!!! I am just working on finding a healthier substitute for the granulated sugar. Otherwise the two remaining main ingredients of sliced almonds and egg whites are certainly healthy!
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups of sliced blanched almonds
4 tablespoons of egg whites
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
powdered sugar for dusting
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 350F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, using a fork gently mix sugar and egg whites. Do not beat or whisk. Stir in vanilla. Lastly stir in the almonds until they are completely covered. The mixture will be loose and does not stick together well. Use a heaping tablespoon for each cookie, shaping as you go along. Mixture will yield 24 cookies.
Bake for 7 minutes and then switch the pans and flip them around for another 7 minutes. Carefully watch cookies to ensure even cooking.
Turn the oven off, open the oven door slightly and leave the cookies in for another 20 minutes. This is a very important step.
Gently remove the cookies to cooling racks and dust with icing sugar.
They are delicious served slightly warm or cooled down to room temperature.
