Author: aclazaro // Category: Desserts, Quick & Easy, Side Dishes/Snacks
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp finely chopped almonds
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp almond extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 egg whites
Directions:
First, let the egg whites stay in room temperature for about 15 minutes. Prepare the cookie sheets with some parchment paper. In a tiny bowl, combine all the cinnamon and sugar. In another medium bowl, combine the egg whites, the salt and the almond extract. Use an electric mixer to combine thoroughly.
You must add the cinnamon-sugar mix one teaspoon at a time and beat the egg whites well then fold in some of the chopped almonds. With a tablespoon, drop some rounded shapes of the meringue onto the baking sheets about 1” apart.
You must bake it at 250F for 30 minutes. When done, allow the cookies to dry inside the oven that is turned off already for another 40 minutes. Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and as you peel off the cookies from the sheets, store them in very tight containers.
