Makes about 24
These cookies will keep for up to a week, so you can make them before Passover and serve them for Mimouna.
2 | egg whites |
---|---|
⅔ | cups confectioners' sugar |
1 | teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste |
2½ | cups sliced almonds |
1. Set the oven at 325 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites with a fork until they are frothy. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the sugar and vanilla extract or paste. Fold in the almonds.
3. Use a tablespoon to scoop 2-inch rounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets. The batter will get a little runny, so after every few scoops, stir it, working up from the bottom of the bowl.
