Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients:
- 5 large egg whites
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup melted butter
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup almonds, finely ground or chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon peel
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat the first three ingredients for about 2 minutes, or until sugar has dissolved and egg whites are thickened but not stiff. Blend in the melted butter. Fold in remaining ingredients.
Drop dough by the teaspoon onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Cookies will spread when they bake, so leave about 2 inches of space between them.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for a few seconds until set, then lift them off the paper with a spatula and let completely cool on a rack.
If desired, drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate in a zigzag over the cookies after they have cooled.
Yields 36 cookies.
