1 Servings
Listed in Categories:
  • 8 c Finely chopped blanched
  • -almonds
  • 3 c Sugar
  • 6 Egg whites
  • 4 tb Almond extract
(*) To blanch almonds, dip almonds into boiling water for 1 minute. Remove
the brown skin covering. Dry in a 200°F oven for 30-45 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Use a food processor to chop them to the finest size
possible. (A 2-pound bag of almonds is what you'll need for this recipe).

Preheat oven to 300°F. Combine all of the ingredients thoroughly. Form into
desired shapes and sizes (we usually form them into crescents) and bake on
greased and floured cookie sheets. Bake for 20-30 minutes depending on
thickness of cookie. (In my oven, it takes about 24 minutes).

NOTES : This recipe is a double recipe. These are one of my favorite
cookies--I just LOVE almonds!
